What will we do with 1,000 students leaving education this year?

A couple of nights back I and my wife went to an open evening at my older son's school. This particular event involved the Art department and Design and Technology. I found the whole event quite extraordinary. The resources available to our children are simply staggering - Laser cutter, plastic former, radio, sound and recording studio. The list seems endless. The work being turned out by these young men is also quite extraordinary. My question is what will happen to all this tallent? We're spending millions educating our young people but what are we giving them in return?

P.S. I want to go back to school!
