Mr. English mentioned the Olympics of skills. One of the things this committee tries to do is to assess the importance of competitiveness or competitions within the education system. Does Mr. English believe it is important? Is it encouraging and improving the quality of apprenticeships for people to participate in very competitive arrangements like that?
