Providing subsidies, and frameworks for partnerships between public & private institutions of higher learning to enable collaboration and better organization in research and innovations for community/county development Projects. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have a population of probably 20 per cent youth in this country. This Motion is actually looking at the opportunities that we are giving to our youth today. In a conversation I had with the youth yesterday, we were talking about suicides and wondering why many of them are affected by it. This is also translating into their mental illness and wellness. A lot of them are grappling with what to do when they cannot get a formal job. There is no question about the fact that the informal sector is the larger employer of our youth today. Therefore, what is the Government doing to enhance this formal sector? When we look at science and technology, we are busy advancing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, but how much are we putting into research? That is the question I am posing here today. We can speak about it, but where is the action when it comes to the Government? How much money is being put into research? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I was preparing this Motion, looking at how other countries have approached research, it is a question of how much is allocated from their Gross Domestic Product (GDP). That is how much they value research and development."
