Our youth need some platform to show their talent. They need a platform for learning and earning
Do children have an opportunity to play at playgrounds? The answer is ‘No’, as our city doesn’t have any playground or a family park. Do our youth get the opportunity to start up their business? No, because vendors are buying the customers. How do I forget to mention the art? Do our youth have the opportunity to act and sing or perform a drama?
Alas! We don’t have any place for the youth. There are huge of talented young people in the field of art, but they don’t have a platform or opportunity to perform and show their talent.
A number of youth can be seen wondering for a job, or serving in private bodies for a long time at a meager remuneration.
Some common issues, which often are observed among our young generation, are suffering from depression, frustration and sadness.
Nobody ponders over the causes of prevalence depression among children. Even parents are worried how a young child feels depressed? The answer is non-availability of opportunities.
Pakistan is a developing country but there is zero role of educated youth. Our youth need some platform to show their talent. They need a platform for learning and earning. And our little kids need new techniques of learning in early education which our country continues failing to provide.
