The constant neglect of vocational education in the past decades is a slow burn catastrophe, the last nail in our economy’s coffin. Been saying it for years. Gonna bet half the politically active population is going to blame the kids too. Betray all promises, destroy all hope for their future, then say it’s all their fault.
While I agree cuts to this education has been extremly stupid and surely has some effect, things like the accident described in the news, is just simply idiotic teachers, who have learnt to slob at work. At amis there are great teachers and then there are those who disappear to their own stuff and collect paycheck. They have always been there. I had one 20 years ago, who would not appear or leave and say “ask another teacher if you have something”
Nowadays these teachers have found new way to avoid their responsibility and it’s “watch from YouTube” instead of teaching.
This assholery and neglect has nothing to do with budgetcuts, just idiot people as teachers.
vote for right wing parties, get right wing outcomes.
The changes back in 2018 made the vocational school more flexible, which is great for adults and those with previous work experience since they can now tailor the vocational studies more for their needs, but left kids who barely held it together through grade school stranded. Kids who need guidance and dedicated adults to help them become professionals and decent human beings are replaced by independent study and unable to consider how their choices will affect them in the long term. The kids (15-18-year olds!) who are able to self-cater their studies and learning like that mostly go to lukio anyway.
Almost like massive tax cuts for the wealthiest sector of the population has consequences for the rest of us…. Who could have guessed
How on earth do they think people learn vocational things remotely?
I’ve been to one in the nineties, and only remotely (no pun) useful thing there was the practical learning in the learning kitchen. Everything theoretical was complete waste of time. Well maybe the legistation and hygienic stuff wasn’t *total* waste of time.
This is so fucking stupid. Which probably anyone with more than 2 brain cells told these morons.
Dummies for right wing
Currently dealing with this problem directly. Every year is worse than the last and this year was the final straw, after we push this batch of failures out we’ll only be working with enployee families and friends. This is going to quickly turn trades into a who you know industry. Being from NA its smarter to move to an apprenticeship style training program for ones that have the ability to behave like the adults they are.
Hey Finland, welcome to the slow decline that accelerates ever faster. Become politically active NOW, because when you actually start to feel it, it will be far too late. And the MOST important issue right now is profit maximising Social Media algorithms that prefer divisive and as such more right wing content that will whttle support systems down so wealth can be transferred upwards, while the blame is shofted downwards.
What we see right now with age limitations for Social Media is not a solution, it’s simply shifting the blame to our youngest generations, who can’t even politically challenge the issue – as they are not allowed to vote. The actual underlying issue is the attention industry that has a huge effect on our political discourse and shifts the overton window to the right.
