SIR - Whatever next with education? Forcing pupils to go to schools-colleges until 18, 21, 30 or 50 maybe.

We are going to be a country of chiefs, not an Indian in sight!

Who with a batch of degrees is going to serve in a shop, be a bus driver or cook? White collar jobs-only needed. We shall be importing people for ever to be the Indians.

In my youth you left school at 14, and if you were lucky you went into the mill. Terrible job, but you were grateful, it was work for low pay but nevertheless you were getting some money.

This lot now in control seems to fancy moving to the exact opposite.
