Gatekeeping sectors where innovation, inventions, and discoveries could flourish is hindering our countries growth. For example, you would expect BSc graduates to work in research labs, synthesizing chemicals and antimicrobial agents, discoverin new approaches to HIV therapy, thereby creating an entirely new sector to our economy. However, only 10% of these BSc graduates find employment in these areas, while the majority pursue Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) studies to become primary and secondary school teachers and compete for teaching jobs with BEd students. It’s a real mess, and that's only one example. I could go on for hours
