LJP declares young people the greatest assets of Guyana

Nov 22, 2019 News

Education, 93 percent of the people who leave our shores have a tertiary education. The young continue to be maligned and remain unemployed for the most part, says the Liberty and Justice Party. The previous and current administrations have made scant effort to retain our qualified and eager nation builders but are quick to ask for their votes, it added.
There has been no meaningful investment in research and development in any field that permits these young minds to venture.
“Our young people leave our shores to go and build other countries and do a fantastic job at that, and there is little being done to stop the exodus or even to invite the diaspora back to participate in our economy and development.”
A release from the party said that on a GlobeSpan show broadcast just over a month ago an elder statesman stated, “I don’t know what this fetish is about young people!”
“These kinds of disconnect have denied our young people the futures that they deserve.”
The Liberty and Justice Party reaffirms that it is the young people who are, and will shape, the future and it is time that “we took the responsibility of carving ourselves out of the old politically dogmatic system and into a new age that will cater to everyone equally and equitably.”
Successive governments have marginalised the youth for far too long. It is time we look deeper at what the future holds and our collective responsibilities and grasp the reins to ensure there is a future for our future generations.
