Make the Youth Policy available to students - Teacher

Mr George Buah-Kwofie, a teacher at Mpohor Senior High School in the Western Region, on Tuesday called on the National Youth Authority to make available the Youth Policy document in schools.

This, he said would enhance the study of the policies put in place by government for the youths for them to take advantage as well as contribute their quota to the overall development of the country.

Mr Buah-Kwofie made the call at the launch of a documentary on “Youth and Governance” by the Youth Bridge Foundation, an NGO at Daboase in the Mpohor Wassa East District of the Region.

The documentary according to Mr Seth Oteng, Executive Director of the NGO, said was a study, which highlighted the concerns of the youth in the decentralization process.

He said there were several issues raised in the findings of the study which included general apathy towards the entire local governance processes by the youths due to the lack of involvement.

Mr Oteng said the youths were cardinal in the development process and therefore must be well-informed regarding the opportunities that exist for them within the society in order for them to make use of them.**
