It is tragic how in this country we deal with symptoms and not the root cause of the problem.
Rather than an apprentice retool, why do we not retool the education system that we have. That clearly is where the problem is. K-3 needs to focus on Reading, writing and arithmetic. Give our students a solid foundation, and not all these millions subjects. Then in 4-6 build on that, so they leave primary school with a solid foundation, and build on that in 7-12.
And teach not for regurgitation of information or for exam taking, but for learning.

Why is this even a point, when the girl is no age eligible as yet?

Agree with you. This just plain garbage.
Not to talk about all the other persons they just paying to do nothing.
And then these idiots have the heart to talk about raising NIB after paying all these fat allowances on top of salaries.
