Anyinam (E/R), Jan.
09, GNA – The youth have been urged to take their studies seriously to achieve
their future aspirations and effectively contribute their quota to national
development.

Mr Emmanuel Oduro
Ofosu, the Managing Proprietor of the Promising Hope Preparatory School at
Anyinam in the Atiwa East District of the Eastern Region, said parents also had
the fundamental duty to morally train their children to become assets to
society.

He said education
must equip the youth with skills to enable them to be self-reliant and
participate in improving the wellbeing of their   communities.

Mr Ofosu, also an
Educationist, said this when he conducted parents round a newly constructed
boarding house for the school and called on parents and guardians to ensure
their children and wards acquired basic education.

He stated that
education was the only legacy to bequeath the children, which would broaden
their horizon and accelerate the pace of development.

Mr Ofosu said
empowerment of unskilled youth had been a challenge to every government and
therefore acquisition of basic skills by the youth was every nation’s priority.

He called for the
development of a comprehensive policy, which would empower the youth to develop
their talents and enhance their welfare as future leaders.

He urged the
business community and churches to help provide skills training to people in
deprived areas as part of their corporate social responsibility.
