I thank the Minister for that answer. A lot of concerns are being raised about the distinct shift in the draft curriculum framework from a curriculum that is focused on skills to one that is very much focused on a knowledge-rich approach. Given your responsibilities around the skills agenda, how will you continue to engage with the Education Minister to ensure that our young people leave the education system not just having received knowledge but equipped with the skills that they need to go out and contribute to the economy and workplace?
