I don’t have any issues with any of that, I find coercive vocational training problematic, but it’s hard to penetrate the degree of coercion through propaganda
In most cases participation in these vocational schools is voluntary. They encourage lots of people to sign up.
It’s only mandatory in limited circumstances, such as if you have documented ties to extremist groups, or you have been convicted for a crime and have been assigned to a vocational school as part of your sentence.
And of course these kind of laws and programs can be abused, but I’ve seen absolutely nothing to suggest a pattern of abuse in any of the other policies, development, rhetoric, and practices in the region.
