David Cameron: Brits need to be 'more Germanic' to help industry "As we try and reindustrialise our country, some companies like yours are expanding so fast they are saying to us, 'we can't find the engineers, we can't find the mechanics and other skills'," he told the plant's workers. "We are in a global race where you have countries like India and China and Indonesia and Brazil that are going absolute gangbusters and we have to recognise that's who we have to compete with," he said. We've taken tough decisions but I think it will enable us to see our economy compete and succeed in a way that is fair to people. Mr Cameron also wants more children to study science, technology and maths to a higher standard. "We have to plan all the way through education, first of all to make sure it is rigorous - so people are studying single sciences not combined sciences which aren't as rigorous - encouraging top graduates to go into maths teaching so we inspire kids in school," he said.
