Following on from that, I hear the points made. Pay is obviously a huge issue, ensuring that apprenticeships are paid properly, with at least the minimum wage. Is there a country that does this best in the class? I know there is a lot of talk about the German model and their education system, where they look at this earlier at second level and in terms of where people are going. Is there a model to point at to say this is what we should be working towards?
