The "No" vote will encourage educated Bahamians who are living abroad to stay away from The Bahamas. They are enlightened and won't return to a Bahamas with archaic standards.
So what you are saying is that you want to keep the country for the poorly educated.
The below was posted by "Publius" in talking about the number of Bahamians employed at the GB Shipyard. I have attended courses and been amazed how many dropped out. They weren't paying so I guess they did not care.
"A contrast here being the Shipyard requires skilled workers. Many young men on that island complain about the requirement of being skilled. They do not want to acquire certification and they say so. They instead say that they simply expect for a highly specialized business to give them a job just because they are Bahamian. Even when certification courses are free or next to nothing in fees, many of them still do not want to become certified. It is far too pervasive a Bahamian mindset."

If he did not believe that they should pass he should not have voted for them and tell us why he voted against them.
The man is so wishy washy.
