    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for retrieving the lost list and giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Motion as I congratulate the hon. Member who has brought it. I am doing so because it addresses one of the greatest socio-economic challenges in this country – unemployment amongst the youths. Unfortunately, this same challenge is our greatest potential. This is because without addressing youth unemployment and having the youth actively involved in job creation and production, this nation cannot go very far. Unfortunately, our education system in the past completely ignored this area and directed our young people towards white collar jobs. Every young person who leaves university or college looks for a job and does not create one. Innovation, self-employment and job creation has been totally ignored in our education system. As hon. Members may be aware, in the past we had middle-level colleges. Unfortunately, all of them were closed down and turned into universities to mainly offer courses in humanities because they were easy to setup. We lost the opportunity to equip our young people with technical knowledge and skills. We hope the taskforce that has been established in the Ministry of Education will address this matter.
