I agree with that but I think he was to kind to the "effort" the school is making...
I believe the school only takes on 8 students a year and most/half of those places are assigned by the big watch companies, add in the fact these same watch companies are cutting off supply of parts, I'm not sure you can call that an effort, it's akin to an arsonist pissing on the fire he just set at the same time dousing it with more petrol.
Some of the biggest names in the watch world support this school and all they can take on is 8 students a year!
