00:00Why can't K-12 students go to K-11 and K-12?

00:04They can't go to K-12.

00:06Because most of the students who graduated from K-12

00:09still don't have a job.

00:10Exactly.

00:11But now, from the business sector,

00:15they need to find a safety officer,

00:18they need to find a first aider.

00:20There are a lot of needs.

00:22I hope that K-12 students,

00:24K-11 and K-12 students,

00:26who are the first aiders,

00:27who are the safety officers,

00:28when they graduate,

00:29they will have a job.

00:30Sir,

00:31that is the free and secure job.

00:35Because even the K-11 and K-12 students,

00:37we want to see that

00:38when you graduate from K-12

00:40and you don't go to college,

00:41you already have a job.

00:42How will that happen?

00:43If employers and schools

00:46are talking,

00:47and at a local level,

00:49not at a national level,

00:51but at a local level,

00:53you, in Boma Night,

00:55what are your needs?

00:57You should know the schools.

00:59How many employees

01:00can you hire every year?

01:02Because you have a turnover rate.

01:03What skills are you looking for?

01:06They should be able to provide that.

01:09Otherwise,

01:10you will have to retrain

01:11and you will have to pay for that.

01:13So, this coordination,

01:16on a national level,

01:18on a local level,

01:19it should happen.

01:21Even at the grade 12 level.

01:23Because there are more students

01:24graduating from grade 12

01:25than from college.

01:26So, it's important that

01:27when you graduate from grade 12,

01:29you should go straight to work.

01:32So, exactly what you're saying,

01:33that's exactly what we want to do.
