Re: Jobs for Goans Daryl [EMAIL PROTECTED]: >From my perspective, in Goa an effective intervention is necessary at the 10th pass level as opposed to the 12th pass level since a huge chunk of kids drop out between grades 10 and 12. The rationale being that if decently paying "non-manual labor" type jobs can be generated for kids graduating from vocational programs, then they won't be forced to do the standard +2+college or +2+diploma programs which in any case do not add much of a wage premium for most kids (in Goa at least).
Gilbert Lawrence responds: I guess one can lift the boat from above or push it up from the clay under-ground. I rather lift the boat from above. Let's make sure the motivated kids have productive, fulfilling and successful careers. That itself will motivate the other high school grads and drop-outs to be late bloomers.
