CMV: Developing country should focus more on Vocational Education rather than General Education.

Most people in these countries receive general education but go to work in fields that do not these knowledge like working in various factories, workshops, etc. So Government funds should be diverted from general education to vocational education to create more skilled workforce.

General education is not useless but in these developing countries it seems rather waste of resource for people living under poverty line to get waste years of their life when they can start earning by working. Besides various sectors that require higher education are still not developed here so they usually have to go abroad which most people can't afford.

Edit:

Thanks for all the inputs. I'm also doing my own searching and reading. I would also appreciate any dense material if any of you guy can refer. Some of you are thinking that I wanted to fully abandon general education thats not the case. I want more priority over General Education. I think the fact that most people in these countries cannot afford years of general education instead they send their child to work as child labor should be taken into consideration. If more focus was on vocational they might get more incentive to educate them as they may earn more. I'm not an elitist who thinks poor people should just work. so please don't try post sarcastic or one-liner comments by making strawman instead be nuanced and actually contribute.

This is a sucker's game in the long run. A broadly educated citizenry is how you start taking control of your own economic destiny rather than being controlled by external forces more wealthy than you. If you focus on meeting current market demands for work, you're letting the external market control the fundamentals of your workforce.

A better strategy is for state-funded education to focus on general education as citizens, and make companies coming in from the outside pay for the vocational training.
