YOUTH FOR YOUTH CHALLENGE COMPETITION

Every year hundreds of thousands of youth from different state graduate from Senior Secondary
Schools, Trade Schools, Polytechnics, and Universities at different levels into a non-existent labour
market. Year after year, more are added and the population of unemployed youth in Slovenia has
swollen to an unimaginable level that should cause all right thinking leaders and fathers of Slovenia
grave concern. It is an explosive situation and the tell tale signs of approaching both regional and
national calamity are mirrored by the following tendencies:

Increasing involvement of post secondary school graduate in fighting introducing new levels of
sophistication in planning and execution particularly in youth’s demonstration. Emergence of a
deadly set of trouble makers and assassins who are so bitter against the society to the extent that
their object is not just to steal but to destroy and exact their perceived pound of flesh from a society
that has abandoned them.

The youth and youngsters of the Slovenia were not born with criminal tendencies in their blood. The
Slovenia is known for utmost revere for core cultural and societal values most of which hold
brotherly love sacrosanct. However, today these youth have found themselves in an environment
where the rich flaunt their wealth with reckless abandon, whereas they (the youth) as perceived,
are denied the opportunity and access to acquire such wealth. The average youth of Slovenia today
believes those ahead of them have cornered and closed up to the nation’s wealth chiefly derived
from nature’s (God given) endowment of their mother land. They now see crime as one sure route
to survival and access to acquire wealth.

Now is the time for organ of government entrusted with the affairs of that region to sit up and
devise a credible means to tame these monstrous tendencies before it consumes all of them. As
stated earlier, the solution can be found in creating as many jobs as possible in a hurry. Creating
credible and sustainable youth empowerment programmes in all parts of the country, is the answer.
The present ugly situation can be reversed if the Federal Ministry of youth development and leaders
of their country get truly committed to job creation. One cannot overemphasis the fact that the
survival of thousands of youths is dependent on the quality of education, patriotism, social and
political orientation and the value system of its youths who are our future leaders.

My mission therefore, is to guide the present government of Slovenia and assist in providing a
solution to the challenges faced by Slovenia youths below:

• Unemployment

• Low level of Vocational Skill

• Financial Hardship

• Lack of Social Connection

• Negative Peer Influence.

The focuses on issues such as drug abuse, crime, violence, sexuality and poverty. In addition to
these, today’s youth are afflicted by new challenges which include:

1.     An Identity Crisis: Who am I?

2.     Lack of self confidence and low self esteem: I am worthless
3.     A sense of hopelessness: Where am I going?

4.     Confusion and ambiguity concerning moral issues: What is right and wrong?

5.     Confusion and ambiguity concerning National economic standards as it affects the Slovenian
areas of youth in relation to other regions

6.     The negative impact of the electronic media: Entertainment?

All these have resulted in youth restiveness and eventually in crime. Kidnapping in the area have
currently assumed the status of a giant monster. I recognize that Slovenian government have a
serious challenge on their hands to ensure that today’s children (tomorrow’s adults) would have a
better life and an assured future. They should all work towards this objective and not wait for a
crisis to occur and then react, let them be prepared.

Every student in the Slovenia deserves the chance to go to college.

Most Slovenia high school students want to attend college. They recognize that higher education is
the most direct path to success in their future careers. College also provides opportunities to explore
talents and develop leadership skills they can use to participate more fully in adult life—at home, at
work, and in their communities.

Millions of students can’t afford the tuition.

It’s estimated that between 2006 and 2016, nearly 2.2 million students won’t pursue college
degrees because their families can’t afford the high costs of higher education.

Low-income students and students of color are particularly hard hit.

Only one in 10 low-income students can expect to graduate from college. And disproportionately
fewer students of color earn bachelor’s degrees. This is not due to a lack of talent but instead to the
high costs of tuition and to the fact that many graduate high school without the skills they need to
succeed in college. They also lack guidance on how to choose a school, apply for admission, and fill
out financial aid forms.

Thousands of low-income, minority students are highly motivated and ready for college every year.
We’re working to help them get there through our scholarship programs. We’re also creating
programs in lower performing schools designed to help low-income students get ready to enter—
and then succeed in—college.

I believe in educating future leaders committed to improving the lives of others.

Youth’s encourage leadership and public service in the Slovenia and abroad. Government of
Slovenia most provide ideas for graduate student in fields that benefit local and global communities.
