Article in the Financial Times by Richard Milne talking about the skills shortage facing companies.

How is it possible to have so many young people unemployed and yet have skills shortages?
Richard Milne, with what can only be called complacent insouciance, says: "...problems around youth unemployment, demographics and the education system all mean that engineers could be increasingly difficult to find in the future..."
What are these problems Mr Milne?
We pay £99 billion a year on education in the United Kingdom.
How does that result in skills shortages?
Can you please do a little bit extra research Mr Milne and tell us where in the education chain things are going wrong.
Lazy teachers and lecturers? Snobby civil servants funding arts courses and not engineering? Teaching unions resistent to change? Lack of planning by politicians? Poor facilities? Demotivated young people?
Where exactly is the problem? Who is failing to get this right? Let's have some names.
