Government moves to reshape youth policy.
(From The Gleaner)
Byline: Rhonda Schaffler
AS PART of its ongoing efforts to provide better prospects for futuregenerations, the Jamaican Government has moved to update its 1994 youth policy to effectively tackle problems facing the nation`s youth.
The revamped policy, which has already been submitted to Cabinet, addresses a number of issues including employment and entrepreneurship, youth health, education, training, care and protection, participation and empowerment.
It explores ways to provide young Jamaicans with opportunities to develop their full mental, social, spiritual and physical potenetial through the provision of training programmes.
An accompanying strategic plan document, which is being prepared, will specify the plans for the implementation of the policy and will also focus on the priority areas for youth development, the cost of the activities and the source of funding.
