Actually it seems quite reasonable to me. They want their citizens young and healthy when they do their national service. Besides by 35 one is more likely to have started a family.

You are focusing on athletes when the rule is for all citizens. It makes perfect sense to me.

In Naija, everybody that goes into higher education (university/polytechnic etc) has to serve one year of national service before they can get a job. When you subsequently apply for a job, along with your academic qualifications you have to produce evidence of having served your NYSC (National Youth Service Corp).

Yup - did it in Nigeria in my mid 20s. Got it done and out of the way. Served at a power station.

Media is a £53bn industry for the UK - film, radio, publishing and video games, as well as tv and journalism. It's poor English teaching that creates issues with spelling.

It may well be but how many young people are wasting their time studying it to have their dreams fade a die and end up working in jobs that do not need that qualification or on their own website. Too many kids going into colleges and universities to get pointless certification, but it help the fabricated unemployment figures.

It's not about employability. It's about civilising. Making people smarter, wiser, creating open and critical minds.

Look at the news we've failed, virtually every crime is on the increase, most people can't do simple maths or spell but know which celebrity is shagging who, what some blogger had for lunch and that Galileo plays for Real Madrid. Unless you have independent means employment is vital for your mental and physical health plus creates wealth and allow people to follow civilising interests or go on the internet.

It works fine. The funding system is broken (students are loss leaders for universities - every one currently loses them £2.5k a year). But that is easily fixed by switching to a graduate tax (new graduates pay an extra 0.x% on income tax for 30 years).

No society is worse for having a better educated population.

Agree with the graduate tax thing.

It's not pointless. When going for a job or promotion having a degree is a great thing to have on your cv. Nothaving one can hold you back.

It can but it not the golden ticket kids have been told it is, many can't get jobs because there are so many out there after the same job or are over qualified. I've got 2 mates who grandkids have degrees, one works as a holiday rep in Spain the other is a logistic clerk at Sainsburys, they may be happy but I know their families thought they would have better opportunities.
 
I went to a conference at Excel where they touched on this and I don't think, from what I heard it's oen or the other. Yes having a specific degree related to the job helps, but just having a degree and going for a job outside that sphere I'm not so sure. Job experience means one hell of alot now when you consider some one has started at the bottom and has a 2/3 year hop on uni graduates, there is also a miss placed confidence with degrees where they don't wanna start at the bottom.

Not going to Uni and into work doesn't mean you are uncivilised or thick, in fact going out, paying bills, money management, getting a mortgage etc gives you more boundaries and basis for life than alot of studies IMO

Agree. It's because so many people have degrees. I was a shift manager in security. Had abput 20 officers working for me. 9 had degrees. 1 had a phd.

London especially is a melting pot.

Still not pointless though. Just so much competition.

Experience will usually win.
 
Will be interesting to see what happens with him in January. Moore starting to break through, Odobert still only getting started. Massive step up from Korea to the PL. Wouldn't surprise me if he's sent out on loan.

Won't have the early stage league cup and EL group games where it's easier to rotate in young and unproven players either.

Remember the EPL rules mean new arrivals can only be loaned abroad or to a lower tier (the Spence to Rennes situation) which might not be ideal for someone we'd like to settle in
 
I don't think we'll loan him, it will be better to integrate him in the country and club. With us we can be sure he gets the support he needs and Son can mentor him. He's a young man in a very different continent, i Imagine he will need a certain level of pastoral support.
