Drugb posted:Do you even know how many UG grads are currently unemployed under jackass Granger? In fact Guyana has a glut of educated people with no jobs.
These people were also unemployed under Jagdeo. Even as many fled to volcanic peaks and coral reefs. There was a time not that long ago when most of the professionals at the Caribbean Development Bank were Guyanese.
Why don't you suggest that these unemployed grads find work in some hotel in St Lucia if you think that Guyana is uniquely unable to employ its educated people?
Here is the problem with Guyana. No one gets out of school knowing what to do. They need further training and exposure under people with experience, but none of these remain in Guyana. They began to flee in 1962 and have been up until today. They fled the PPP and also flee the PNC.
Guyana has the most incompetent set of governments since then, which is why what should be the RICHEST country in the Caribbean only manages to beat Haiti. And this will not change as folks like you worship Jagdeo. Not because he is any good, but because he is Indian.
As a result Guyana has a dearth of people with both education/training and experience so its economy remains backward. Its industries are uncompetitive as it doesn't have the people with the skills to reposition them.
In fact there are a whole battery of people with advanced training in aspects of agriculture, some even Phds. Please don't tell me that you think that Exxon has a bunch of illiterates. In fact their operations will be Trini dominated with Guyanese confined to cooking food. This because the Trinis have the education and the Guyanese lack it.
For natural resource based economies to compete they need to employ the most modern technologies and management systems. One cannot attain this with only a primary school level education.
But I see illiterates from China built the Skeldon factory, and we now see the results.
