Business suffer from uncompetitive workforce

I spoke to 3 people today, who said essentially the same thing about their own country's woeful education system; an Antara editor, a taxi driver and middle-ranking Indonesian diplomat. And at no time was the subject of education being discussed. We were talking about the local media, traffic congestion and East Timor, respectively, when each of these folks began bemoaning the state of Indonesian education.

So, if everyone knows the problem, why are there no solutions????? That's the million dollar question.
