The Jubilee manifesto is refreshingly short of populist slogans. Economists get frustrated at politicians who tend to focus on short-term sound bites, as opposed to real strategic policy.
The Jubilee government is rightly proud to have created approximately 800,000 jobs per year. Recruiting thousands of teachers, setting up technical vocational training, and installing digital learning programmes has already demonstrated a commitment to developing a skilled work force. The promise of free secondary education, loans for university students, and aligning the needs of industry with curricula and polytechnics will strengthen this further.
