It seems the 3 Rs are being relegated to the backyards by the British.
One out of three employers have confessed to the Confederation of British Industry that they were forced to send staffers for what they call remedial training in reading, writing and Arithmetic. Not bad new for desi BPOs.
Now you know why jobs are coming to India.
The only surprise is that the British are not only poor in Maths, but also their mother tongue.
Sad, because the price they pay or the amount the British economy loses due to this is a cool 10 billion pounds.
That is Rupees 87319966111. Not all that is coming to India, but the significant chunk is.
So Britons, carry on bunking school, because half of the employers believed that school dropouts now a days are worse than dropouts five years ago.
And university graduates aren’t doing better.
Their works are “peppered with grammatical & spelling errors”. That is why the BPO cash counters in India are ringing louder.
