Kwindawo yasemaphandleni yase-Devon e-UK kulele izibuko lembali lasePlymouth, ikhaya lenkqubo yezixhobo zenyukliya yaseBritane. Ukulawula elo ziko yi-Babcock International Group PLC, umvelisi weengalo odweliswe kwi-FTSE 250 nge ingeniso ngo-2020 nge- £ 4.9bn.

Yintoni engaziwa kakhulu, nangona kunjalo, kukuba iBabcock ikwaqhuba iinkonzo zemfundo eDevon, nakwezinye iindawo ezininzi e-UK. Emva kwengxwabangxwaba yezemali ka-2008-9, noorhulumente kwihlabathi liphela besebenzisa imigaqo-nkqubo engqongqo, ukusikwa koomasipala kugijimele ngaphezulu kwe-40% kwaye iinkonzo zemfundo zasekhaya zanikezelwa kwicandelo labucala. Kwi-Devon, yayinguBabcock ophumelele ibhidi yokuziqhuba.

Inkampani yezixhobo, enegunya kwimpixano kunye nobundlobongela kwihlabathi liphela, ngoku ingomnye wabalishumi elinambini ababonelela ngenkonzo yemfundo e-UK.

Ingxelo kwiwebhusayithi yayo ichaza imisebenzi yayo njenge: "… intsebenziswano eyodwa phakathi kweBabcock International Group plc kunye neBhunga leDevon County, elidibanisa ezona ndlela zorhwebo zilungileyo kunye neenqobo ezisemgangathweni zenkonzo yecandelo likarhulumente."

Obo budlelwane buzisa ingozi yokuziphatha apho kwakungekho ngaphambili. "Eyona ndlela intle yokurhweba" - ngamanye amagama, ukhuphiswano - ayiloxabiso lenkonzo karhulumente, kwaye ukusetyenziswa kwayo kwezemfundo kunemiphumo emibi kakhulu kwabona basemngciphekweni, njengoko kuya kuboniswa. Iinkampani zabucala kwinkonzo yoluntu zikwanikezela ngemiceli mngeni yokuphendula kwaye kule meko, ubukho bezorhwebo ngezixhobo kuphakamisa eminye imibuzo yokuziphatha malunga nemvume.

Ukanti i-Babcock ayisiyiyo kuphela eyakha izixhobo ebonelela ngemfundo kubantwana. Ezinye iinkampani zeengalo zase-UK, njengeenkqubo ezinkulu ze-BAE eziyile iinkwili zaseBritani zenyukliya, nazo zifumene indlela yazo ezikolweni kutshanje, zibanika izixhobo zokufundisa kwaye, ngokweThe Guardian, "ukubonelela ngesimulator yemijukujelwa ukuba abantwana badlale ngayo”. Enika ingxelo ngalo mcimbi, u-Andrew Smith, isithethi se Iphulo lokulwa ukuthengisa izixhobo uthe: "Xa ezi nkampani zizazisa ebantwaneni azithethi ngempembelelo yezixhobo zazo. [..] Izikolo [..] akufuneki zisetyenziswe njengezithuthi zorhwebo kwiinkampani zeengalo. ”

Lixesha, njengoko isithethi sinye satsho, ukuba iinkampani zeengalo zikhutshwe ngaphandle kwegumbi lokufundela.

Indlela egunyazisiweyo; lilungiselelo elichasayo ukujongwa luluntu

Kukho umbuzo wokwenyani kunye nexhala lokuba inkcubeko yorhwebo lwezixhobo, yaseBabcock, inefuthe elinjani kwimithombo yezemfundo abayinikezelayo. 

Cinga ngale meko ilandelayo. 'Uxanduva' lukaBabcock eDevon lubandakanya ukubekwa esweni kwabafundi kunye novavanyo lwabafundi - imisebenzi abayisebenzisayo ngendlela enobungqongqo. Xa umntwana engekho esikolweni, uBabcock usoyikisa abazali babo nge- $ 2,500 yeefayini ukuya kuthi ga kwiinyanga ezintathu zokuvalelwa, njengoko kubonisiwe kule leta ingezantsi:

Ileta kunye nezinye ezifana nayo zenze i-furore phakathi kwabazali babafundi be-Devon, kwaye ngo-2016 a isikhalazo Yaqalwa, ibiza iBhunga leDevon County ukuba icime ikhontrakthi kaBabcock xa kwakufuneka ivuselelwe ngo-2019. Isikhalazo safumana utyikityo oluncinci (ngaphezulu kwewaka) kwaye uhlaziyo lwango-2019 luye lwaqhubeka. Ngoku kufuneka iphele ngo-2022.

Kwi-2017, umzali ochaphazelekayo wafaka isicelo seNkululeko yoLwazi kwiBhunga lase-Devon County malunga neenkcukacha zesivumelwano kunye neBabcock. Yaliwe ngenxa yezizathu zobuntununtunu kwezorhwebo. Umzali ubhenele kwisigqibo, etyhola iBhunga "ukugcinwa kwesango okungafunekiyo, ukulibaziseka kwexesha, iindlela zokuphepha”, Kwaye nangona ulwazi luye lwadizwa ekugqibeleni iBhunga lafunyanwa ngokwaphula umthetho wenkululeko wolwazi kulibaziseko. Imfundo yomntwana ibaluleke kakhulu ekuziphatheni kwaye abo babandakanyekayo kufuneka bakwamkele ukujongwa. Ngokucacileyo akunjalo kulungiselelo lukaBabcock eDevon.

Ukuqengqeleka: Ukutyhala obona buthathaka ukuze uhlale ukhuphiswano

Inkcubeko yeshishini, ngakumbi ishishini lokwakha nokuthengisa izixhobo, alibekwanga kwaphela kwimfundo. Ukhuphiswano ayisiyondlela ozifumana ngayo iziphumo, kwaye ukufumana amanqaku kwitafile yeligi yezikolo ayingomlinganiselo wempumelelo.

Kodwa le yimigaqo esetyenziswayo. Kwi-2019, uTes, umboneleli ngezixhobo okwi-Intanethi, uxele imeko ekhathazayo. Inani elandayo labazali babafundi abasokolayo esikolweni bebe “Ukunyanzelwa, ukukrokrelwa nokucenga”Kubantwana abafundela emakhaya abantwana - okt ukubasusa kuluhlu lwesikolo, apho ukusebenza kwabo kungasenako ukuphazamisa inqanaba lesikolo letheyibhile yeligi - isenzo esaziwa ngokuba 'kukuqengqeleka'.

Inkuthazo yalo mkhuba ilula: “kuxhokonxwe yindawo yetafile yeligi”, Ngokwengxelo ye-YouGov ka-2019. Omnye usekela-titshala oyintloko kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo uthi kule ngxelo: “Kunokubakho isilingo sokukhuphela ngaphandle [umfundi] ukuze bangazisi iziphumo zesikolo… Ngokokuziphatha andivumelani noko.” Ukuziqengqisa akulunganga; kubeka uxinzelelo olukhulu kubazali kwaye, ngokulula, akukho semthethweni.

Ngokungathandabuzekiyo, iBabcock eDevon ibonelela ngomzekeliso wale ndlela imbi yokusebenza. Iitheyibhile ezingezantsi zivela kumaxwebhu asemthethweni avela eBabcock naseBhunga leNqila yeDevon.

Iinkcukacha-manani ziyazithetha; Ipesenti yabantwana besikolo eDevon ababhalisele ukufunda ekhaya (i-EHE) inyuke ukusuka kwi-1.1% ngo-2015/16 ukuya kwi-1.9% ngo-2019/20. Oku kwalatha kubantwana abongezelelekileyo abangama-889 abaye 'bakhutshwa' kwizikolo zikaDevon nguBabcock.

Ukhetho olubalulekileyo lokungavunyelwa ngabazali

Umcimbi wokugqibela unento yokwenza nenkolelo kunye nokukhetha. Ilungelo lenkululeko yenkolo liyaphazanyiswa xa, umzekelo, unyanzelwa ukuba uthathe inxaxheba kwiinkonzo ezingezizo ezenkolo yakho. I-UK yindawo yoluntu kwaye amalungelo anjalo akhuselwe ngamandla, kodwa ngaba ayaqhubeka? Wonke umntu ubhatala imali yakhe yerhafu ngohlobo 'lwemvume efunyenweyo', kodwa akukho sikweni ukuba abo baxhamla kuyo babenakho ukubuya baphinde bathathe iqhekeza lesibini lekhekhe lezemali. Akukho 'mvume ifunyenweyo' efanayo kurhwebo lwezixhobo olubonelela ngemfundo.

Ngokukhutshwa kweenkonzo zemfundo yasekuhlaleni ziye kwicandelo labucala, urhwebo lwezixhobo kulapho imali yemfundo ihamba khona, ngaphaya kohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lokhuselo. Kwaye ukuba umntwana wakho ufuna imfundo, ufumanisa ngokungazi ukuba uziphethe kakuhle ekwakheni iprofayili yoluntu ehloniphekileyo kunye nokwandisa inzuzo kubantu abathengisa imipu. Kukho intetho kwinkcubeko yentengiso 'kukho amacala amabini kulo lonke urhwebo'. Urhwebo lwezixhobo lukhona kubathengi kunye nabanini zabelo; ayamkelekanga kwaphela isimilo kubazali babantwana besikolo ukuba babandakanywe njengenxalenye yokusebenza kwayo.

Kwenzeka ntoni kwisivumelwano phakathi kwe-Devon County Council kunye ne-Babcock ngo-2022 isenokuba phantsi koxinzelelo loluntu. Ityala elibalulekileyo lovavanyo lokuba thina, njengabemi, njengenkqubela phambili, singakhupha urhwebo lwezixhobo ezikolweni zethu. Ngaba masizame?

Amalungu e-DiEM25 ngoku axoxa ngezinto ezinokwenzeka ukusombulula umba oxoxwe kweli nqaku. Ukuba ungathanda ukubandakanyeka, okanye ukuba unolwazi, izakhono okanye izimvo zokufaka isandla koku, Joyina umsonto onikezelweyo kwiforum yethu kwaye uzazise, ​​okanye Nxibelelana nombhali walesi siqwenga ngqo.
