The need to re-open the trade schools

As soon as a human being attains the age reason, he becomes aware of the phenomenon of work, and its centrality of life. Today, more than ever, good tradesman are very hard to find for any specific work.
The worker’s educational bodies should contribute to raise the consciousness of re-opening the ‘Trade Schools’ again.
Technological specialisation requires additional skills, and knowledge, not to exclude the familiarity with mechanical, electrical and electronic applications which are increasingly becoming very important.
What opportunities lie ahead for a 16 year old school leaver who does not have any other choice, because he does not have a high level school certificates?
We know very well the consequences youths are facing today. Now, I leave this for the entire public to judge.
