“You go to the UK, or the US today, a plumber earns more than a doctor. If an electrician in England earns more than a doctor, so what are you talking about here?” the minister quizzed when he was featured on Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today. 

“So, we want to now bring this pool of workers back. So what we’re doing with technical and vocational education is that we’ve laid out a four-step approach here.

“We would pay students to go to those schools. We’ve modeled how much we’re going to pay them when we roll the programme out. We’ll be announcing that. we’ll pay them to go to school. That’s step one.”
