"Young people must train or pour concrete, says CBI chief"
'British workers may be reduced to “pouring the concrete” while foreign engineers and scientists lead an industrial renaissance in Britain, the head of the CBI gives warning today.
In the next two decades Britain will rebuild a third of its power generators, host the 2012 Olympics, complete the £30billion London Crossrail line and rebuild or remodel every secondary school. Yet, unless action is taken to train young people as engineers and scientists, British workers may have only manual jobs, Richard Lambert, the Director-General of the CBI, said.
“The question is whether our fellow citizens will do more than just pour concrete,” he said. “There are big opportunities to be grasped.”
He said that bright children should be entered automatically for triple science at GCSE, covering physics, chemistry and biology. He also called on the Government to offer £1,000 a year to science, technology, engineering and maths graduates.'
