…development programmes provide opportunity for skills training - survey
A survey funded by the United Nations Development Fund (UNDP) and conducted by a team from the University of the West Indies has found that young men in Guyana no longer consider education as a means through which they can elevate themselves.
As such, the team has suggested that the Guyanese society needs to find ways to encourage boys to participate more meaningfully.
It was pointed out that as it stands, women in the Guyanese society are more responsive and responsible for dealing with the issues of the family and community.
“It is apparent that boys lag behind girls in the education system, and by extension, the working environment also…For the adolescent boys, sports are a big ‘pull’, and in some cases it is the only activity that can bring young boys and fathers together,” the report found.
The team cited that an important concern arising from investigation has been the high drop-out rate among secondary school students.
The APNU+AFC is a corrupt cabal of racists. They did nothing that benefitted ordinary Guyanese, presided over the must corrupt and incompetent government Guyana has ever had and sought to rig their way back into office. Now in opposition lies and racism is their go-to mantra. Here we expose them ....
Well something needs to be done, we need our men to be meaningful leaders in the future to come, and education as we all know is the key to success, if they are so fond of sports they still need education to administer there success in sports as well, a programme needs to be put in place in getting these boys to focus in school on there education and not only on girls...they need to know what is more important in life and get a grip of themselves
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! This is by the PNC so we all know that is a lie...no need to elaborate further other than the PNC being a lying set of hypocrites and no one should fall for there trash…
ReplyDeleteThe PNC will tell those very youths that it is better to "bun the erbs pun de line top" instead of finding work or educating themselves. But I also blame the parents for this sad state of affairs because they have fallen victim to the PNC's garbage ....again.
ReplyDeleteThe boys them don't have a choice, it is not easy to be subjected to these hypocrites lies, definitely these boys will be overcome by them, it is the parents now who should put a barrier of this nonsense by the PNC, because it is there children lives that will be in conflict, the PNC are nothing less than masterminds
