even a grammar school education and University degree is no guarantee of employment these days..

To be fair the issues they are looking for are valid, but to solve them requires spending public money, and making schools more than just exam factories. I actually enjoyed primary school quite a bit, and some aspects of high school but had serious mental health issues and a breakdown which even resulted in hospital admission and a narrow escape from sectioning due to academic pressures.

I survived all those and did OK in life (have been mostly in full employment since age 18 with only a few months without a job), but I did have a supportive family and it took a big toll on me (its a major reason why I've never married nor become a parent)
