Re: [ossig] (Fwd) STI News: Firm discovers good IT help hard to find

imho, one of the root causes is our education system, as Teoh puts it 
"A's == mighty $$$$ ".  Also, it encourages passivity, and memorizing 
facts. 
It will be tough to compel a revamp of our public education system.
What we may do (immediately) is to raise our charges' standard/ 
capability.  Make them realise that "A"s plays a small part in their 
career.

Is such a survey part of ossig's domain or mncc's as it concerns the IT 
profession?
