Some of them were already had a decent job whether in local or multinational company. It was mentioned in the video that there was a manager of local bank, manager of PNG in Singapore, Unilever employee, etc. But they choose to join this program and resign from their current job at that time.

The right to education, however, must not be confined in the context of being able to go to school or having more areas and structures for schooling. The right to education is undermined and meaningless if teachers are under-trained, learning curricula and materials are irrelevant and learning environment is unsafe and not conducive (Mapa, 2013).
