Damian WaltersGUEST
... part of the decision for, for taking it out of, um, taking it out of our, um, you know, out of our curriculum back in the day.

Damian WaltersGUEST
But I think, you know, in answer to your question, it's, it's a huge challenge.

Damian WaltersGUEST
Um, the challenge starts with how do we attract new people in? So how do we start getting vocational learning back on the agenda, um, not only for pupils, but, uh, and for young people who are sort of setting out in their, their sort of schooling career.

Damian WaltersGUEST
Um, but how do we also re-educate the parents? Because parents are a huge influencing factor to, to, you know, um, children's, um, career choices.

Damian WaltersGUEST
Um, and therefore they need to be brought into that conversation quite early.

Damian WaltersGUEST
We've got some plans on that, but retaining people is also going to be a challenge.
