(Translated)

I would like to pursue three important aspects today: workforce training, assessment arrangements, and the impact of these changes on qualifications. These don't directly relate to the White Paper, of course, but they are part of the bigger picture in terms of the huge change that’s occurring. And the new curriculum will mean a transformational change to teaching methods, so what are the Government’s proposals for re-educating the workforce? I'm using the word 're-educating' or 'retraining' in order to convey the level of the task and the change, and I think that does so more effectively than the term 'professional development'.
