17. The majority of Youth are NOT going to school
“Education is for the rich and priveledged”
mentality
Earning a high school degree is HUGE
The quality of education available in rural areas is
inferior to what’s available in urban areas
Educating young women is NOT a priority
Poverty is the #1 obstacle to receiving a good
education
The new challenge is to mantein kids at the
School, Parent’s are afraid of gangs members.
18. WORLD OF WORK
What Does it All Mean?
...want professional jobs
but lack of the academic
preparation needed to
obtain them
...lack of knowledge in
terms of how to find jobs
and prepare themselves
for the job force
...are most likely to
participate in non-formal
labor activities which
provide no legal protection
Urban youth…
19. OTHERS….
Religion plays a major role in the
way youth view sex, family,
relationships, etc
There are some serious holes in
the information transfer process
regarding SEX
20. WORLD OF WORK
What Does it All Mean?
Despite notable progress,
child labor continues to be a
significant problem; one that
plagues agricultural areas
more than anywhere else.
Youth who work and go to
school tend to struggle
academically because they
arrive to class in the
afternoon tired from working
all morning.
Rural youth are less likely to
have exposure to any
employment opportunities
besides agriculture
Rural youth
21. FAMILY
Households containing both mother
and father are rare
Family trumps education, so youth
will sacrifice their education to
“help” their families
Unlike American culture, the family
unit has a stronger impact on youth
than their peer group
