…Govt. recommits to youth development While there has been much talk about the new administration’s apparent lack of care for the youth, based on the fact that President David Granger selected a “graying cabinet,” Finance Minister, Winston Jordan recently renewed government’s commitment to the development of Guyanese young people. The Minister did so as he delivered his first Budget speech to the National Assembly last week.Government had taken a beating over for the fact that its youngest Minister is over 40 years with many young people taking this to mean that President Granger sees no place for the youth in government.The merging of the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sport with the Ministry of Education, even though APNU+AFC admitted during the election campaign that much more needs to be done for the youth, was met with disapproval.

And in some cases youths have been the victims, as gang violence seems to be gaining prominence in Guyana.Minister Jordan, in his speech, said that government is committed to ensuring a safe and secure society for all.He told the House that following wide consultations with various youth groups and other organizations, a draft of the National Youth Policy 2015 has been completed.The first-time Minister said that the National Youth Policy 2015 aims to build a nation where Guyanese youth are safe and healthy, have equal access to opportunities,Cheap NFL jerseys China, can participate in public life and are empowered to meaningfully contribute to Guyana’s sustainable development.Jordan said that the “comprehensive document” captures the government’s vision for the youths of Guyana and caters for the needs of youth between the ages of 15 and 35 years, which is over 50 percent of the population.The Minister said that once the draft is accepted, a National Youth Policy Action Plan will be quickly crafted and implemented.Further,Cheap Jerseys Outlet, the Minister told the House that government is cognizant that youths are constantly looking for avenues for growth, and as such,NFL Jerseys Cheap Authentic, the administration will review the existing youth development programmes with a view to enhancing the employability of Guyanese youth while promoting new initiatives for social and economic advancement.Also, Jordan said that the government will upgrade the facilities at the Sophia Training Centre and collaborate with the private sector to create job opportunities for the over 200 trainees.He also promised that his government will design tracer studies to effectively monitor the employment of all trainees under national youth programmes.
