Examples of qualification in a Sentence

1. Sonia Moura:

   This is absurd. How he is allowed to teach (soccer) when he doesn’t even have a physical education qualification which everyone teaching sports must have in Brazil? this is another case of the law being bent to suit and excuse the privileged in our society.
