"Kasi sa ngayon po, ang nakikita natin meron po misalignment. Kung ano po iyong natututunan nila na skills, hindi naman po iyon ang hinahanap ng ating mga industries. So hindi sila nagiging employable," he added.

(We're seeing a misalignment. The skills the students learn are not the ones employers are looking for, so they don't become employable.)
