On the other hand, hospital casualty departments throughout the country are having to close down because of the lack of doctors. The reason? University medical schools can only find places for half or those who apply.It seems to me that the time is ripe for the Department of Employment and Productivity and the Department of Education and Science to get together with the universities and produce a revised educational system that will make a more economic use of the wealth of talent, application and industry currently being fitted away on certificates, diplomas and degrees that no one wants to know about. They might make a start by reintroducing a genuine “General” Certificate of Education. In the days when it meant something, this was called the School Certificate. Employers liked it, because it indicated proficiency in English, Arithmetic, Science and Humanitiesin other words, that you had an all-round education.
