Remedying Unemployment Among School Leavers

 From all indications, the nation's most pressing problem is the high rate of unemployment among school leavers. Caught in the net of this problem are students from both secondary and tertiary institutions. The consolation is that like other problems there are solutions to it. To remedy the high unemployment rate among school leavers, I suggest the following

To start with, there is an urgent need to shift from the liberal subjects to technical, vocational or professional courses. Difficult as it is to find employment in the country, students with technical or professional qualification have been remarkably better off than their colleagues who studied the liberal arts. To support this shift, the government should establish more technical and vocational schools and award scholarships to brilliant but needy students. The few technical schools should be equipped and upgraded into polytechnics. this technical and polytechnic institutions will then train the youth for gainful employment.

Another suggestion worth considering is the need to offer soft loans to school leavers,this can be done without serious insistence on collateral security. Capital will then be put in the hands of school leavers ready to undertake profitable ventures. People call for a return to the villages to take up farming but the issue is not that simple. Agricultural projects ought to be finaced and it makes no sense to expect school leavers to launch into farming without financial assistance. So the availability of capital school-leavers into viable sectors of the economy.

Moreover, since land is readily available in many communities for farming government can give the needed push by subsidizing farming inputs. That's making agriculture projects less costly, school-leavers obi and courage to take up farming. The government is not paying unemployment benefit us is done elsewhere subsidizing farming inputs will be an alternative worth adopting. What is more,increased agricultural production will help feet agro-based industry which will in turn create employment opportunities.

To add to what has been stated, to remedy the high rate of unemployment among school-leavers, recommend rural electrification. connecting towns and villages to the national grid or promote the establishment of rural industries. This will give school leavers the chance of setting up cottage industry or seeking employment avenues there

From the foregoing it can be inferred that despite the enormity of the problem of unemployment among school leavers there are ways to remedy the situation. Students should be advice to shift towards studying for a carrier.

they should also be given financial support and the necessary infrastructure to undertake viable projects, it is my ferventhope that this suggestion will be given serious consideration by the government
