Letters: Quality vs quantity

With reference to "The soft skills trap" (May 3), actually we need better quality of the hard STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)-based skills. That's where we are getting beaten. In quantity, we are masters. Quality is where the rub lies. Soft skills can always be learnt on the job - from mentors, peer groups and bosses who have gone through the grind.
