February 10, 2016 (SSB) — However, government programs from its creation has been an all-hands-on-deck making effort to bring together individuals found guilty into justice, communities leaders, civil and faith leaders, philanthropy and the private sector to address a long-recognized crisis problems as a whole in our country. The author hope that this article will be the beginning of many announcements, deliverables and actions taken to help all young people reach their full potential. While government seek to create greater opportunity and remove barriers to young people’s success, we will continue to encourage all youths to seize every opportunity and pursue excellence despite any odds they may face.
As they move through life, they must take responsibility for their success. But, we must remember that the responsibility is not only theirs, but ours as well. We must make sure that they are able to take advantage of opportunities for success, and make sure South Sudanese youths understand that realizing these opportunities is truly possible for each of them.
Many children who attend primary schools but do not complete to go to their colleges are saddled cannot attain the level of earnings to make the initial life prudent. Due to lack of academic preparation is one of the leading barriers to secondary persistence and other vocational training courses that are required in communities, but its appear evident that the survival of civil population here in the country was no longer possible in an age of individualism like those who work hard day and night in order to bring down the image of the South Sudan government (Riek Machar group and others found guilty) should have known that the laws are partly formed for the sake of bad people in order to instruct them how they may live on friendly terms with one another and partly for the sake of those who refuse to be instructed,
Justice requires that to lawfully constituted authority there be given that respect and obedience which is its due that the laws which are made shall be in wise conformity with the common good as matter of conscience all people shall render obedience to these laws.
There is growing evidence that mindset defined as whether children believes he or she belongs and will be valued in society that has relevance for important life goals and that intelligence can grow and improve with effort significantly impacts persistence and performance. Research also suggests that mindset can be positively influenced through both specific short-term interventions and longer-term individual and group norms. Feelings of isolation and lack of support are often a part of the story for students who struggle or leave school. There is evidence that providing well designed formal and informal supports including peer and mentor relationships can increase the chances of our children persisting in college.
Systemic barriers to completion also stall or derail persistence. Stories are common of credits lost because of transfers between similar institutions from one another in the community. The cost of college and the availability of aid remain challenges to persistence well after initial program. Employment as a teenager especially jobs developing critical career skills within manageable hours can lead to higher earnings later but youth who grow up in poverty or have other hardships have a particularly hard time transitioning successfully into the world of work. Their parents and other relatives may not have strong networks to help them find jobs or give them advice about where and how to get one.
Many youth seeking their first job or a part-time job frequently are limited to places close to where they live or near public transit routes. Many neighborhoods lack robust retail and service sectors where youth often get their first experiences. Programs that provide subsidies to employers to offset the costs of providing on the job training to particular target groups have consistently been found through evaluations to have a positive effect on employment and earnings at least for those over 18 years old.
Our recommendations are aimed at increasing opportunities for training in high-demand fields and expanding hiring in good entry jobs and apprenticeships because pre-apprenticeship programs help steer young workers toward Registered Apprenticeship programs and provide a promising career ladder for young workers as part of Administration’s efforts to double the number of opportunities to all the people of South Sudan.
It’s common in many cities across the country to help provide a paid work experience at an important time in a young person’s life when they are making decisions about their future careers.
