There will be long term effect if they dont go back to school...it is huge number
Quick answer is "yes"
However it will be naive to think that all of them are on the street busy "castrating dogs". Running around selling hash and weed.
Oh bhai logo!
Majority of these kids are getting trained in the "informal" cottage industry.
We just need to organize this informal sector and it will take very little money.
British style "Formal schooling" is good for producing baboos, peons, clerks, and high end professionals.
We should have mixed this style with German style "Apprenticeship schools" years ago. But we did not.
Why?
Many of our baboos, and intellecutals who were trained in British style system, CAN NOT think beyond baboo-ism, and clerky.
These "Brahmins from British style education" tend to look down at anyone who works with his own two hands.
Sort of a throw back to the good old Shudra class treatment for anyone who does the "low-class" jobs of being a car-mechanic, carpenter, black smith, etc.
While a boy trained as car-mechanic is all set to earn his own livelihood at 18.
the British style educated boy is begging for more money when he is 18.
And yet the "Brahmins from British style education" look down at car-mechanic as a lowly "untouchable"
even when he is a productive citizen of the society.
And the same "Brahmins from British style education" makes someone a hero if he scores high on A-levels.
We must view education from the POV of a farmer, a black-smith, a carpenter, a mechanic, a tailor, a carpet-weaver.
We must ask them, hey "what kind of young workers would you need next year and how should our education system make sure we provide you with top quality workers".
But we won't.
"Brahmins from British style education" will continue cut-pasting useless statistics
"Brahmins from British style education" will continue making false promises to our kids
But pathetically worse, these ullu "Brahmins from British style education" will continue ignore the needs of a black-smith, a carpenter, a mechanic, a tailor, a carpet-weaver. as they happen to be just the good old shudras.
Just the good old untouchables.
Sadly.
