A politician has noticed that the economy exists and would like schools to feed it more efficiently. The plan assumes that a 15-year-old presented with 'advanced manufacturing' will choose it over whatever algorithmically optimised dopamine loop currently occupies their attention, and that local employers have the training capacity they've spent three decades outsourcing. Our analysts confirm the pathway is clear: it leads directly from the classroom to a skills gap that policy announcements never seem to fill.
