‘The ideal way to bridge the skill gap is to privatise the education system’

"Actually the most inspiring thing is a parent coming and saying, “The job you have given my daughter has allowed us to buy a home, has given her a better prospect when she is looking to get married, it has allowed her brother to study.” It has impacted the entire family in a way they couldn’t have imagined. The father of one of the girls who works with us is a cook. My driver says he will make his children study computers. And they will earn more within two years than he has earned at his age. That’s just one thing. The other elements are the phenomenal opportunities these kids see. And they take it for granted, which I think is good."
