Dear Editor,
In appreciation of the Ministry of Youth and Culture's immense contribution to national development, unparalleled patriotism, loyalty to democratic ideals, and basic principles of good governance, we, the youth of St Thomas Parish Youth Council wish to state our gratitude for the hosting of the economic youth forum. The effort has given us hope of a rescue mission for Jamaica.
Young people constitute a majority proportion of the population, commonly referred to as the 'youth bulge'. This demographic will result in the largest-ever cohort of young people transitioning into adulthood. All indicators point to the fact that, young people will be exposed to greater challenges, hence greater collaboration is important. It is based on these facts that it's essential our leaders consider young people as one of their most treasured assets to ensure future prosperity and growth.
The two Coaster buses from St Thomas was a result of our enthusiastic appreciation for this forum; a forum that, indeed, gave us the opportunity to not only gain useful knowledge on the economic growth projection/strategy, but also an opportunity to ask "tough economic questions" that some would say are burning issues. Questions were asked, answers were provided, which further cement our appreciation.
Minister Hanna noted in a previous interview that the forum is part of a series of initiatives being organised by the ministry to get young people to take up their role in moving the country forward, hence we look forward to similar sessions that will include members from the ministries of education, technology and science.
The St Thomas Parish Youth Council reaffirms our youth leaders' commitment and willingness to contribute to the parish and national development through partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Culture and stakeholders to promote the advancement of young people for the sustainability and achievement of vision 2030.
