Brief No. 3
Education/Training Points: Defensive Q/A Brief.
Q. 1 Why
choose education/training as a point-scoring
attribute?
A. 1 Because in general a
better-educated
or more
highly-trained person is better able to contribute to
society and economy. Alco, 36 a counter-emigration
measure, takes account of selection criteria of main
immigration countries where weight is given
education/training.
Q. 2
why a 150 points maximum weighting?
A. 2
education/training
education/training
We consider that experience and
should be given equal weight, and hence both
attributes have a 150 points maximum score. To weigh
more heavily than working
experience would tend to favour those better at
acquiring academic/professional qualifications than
practising in their professions. To weigh education/
training less heavily than working experience could
favour time-servers against those who improve their
skills.
