This article attempts to assess the role of Youth Training Centres in Zimbabwe by reference to observation and investigation ("case studies") of two training centres, one a government training centre established since Independence and one a nongovernment training centre established prior to Independence. This article compares the two centres on the basis of history, geographical situation, level of educational requirement for entry, programme content and flexibility, and employment creating...
Show moreThis article attempts to assess the role of Youth Training Centres in Zimbabwe by reference to observation and investigation ("case studies") of two training centres, one a government training centre established since Independence and one a nongovernment training centre established prior to Independence. This article compares the two centres on the basis of history, geographical situation, level of educational requirement for entry, programme content and flexibility, and employment creating ability, amongst several variables. Some attention is paid to the need to train for rural development and to the concept of education with production and how these concepts have been translated practically in these centres. The discussion on the two centres is used to point to some potential policy implications for training and education and focuses on the need for collaboration, coordination and cooperation between the public and private youth training centres. The author ends on a note of optimism born out of the recognition of the problem of youth unemployment and training needs in Zimbabwe and the attempts to deal with these problems.

It examines trends in electoral participation in general and that of the youth in particular and attempts an explanation. It draws on the results of accumulated surveys and opinion polls that have been conducted over the years by the Democracy Research Project (DRP) of the University of Botswana.

Show moreThis article focuses on the changing trends and patterns in the youth's participation in the electoral process. It examines trends in electoral participation in general and that of the youth in particular and attempts an explanation. It draws on the results of accumulated surveys and opinion polls that have been conducted over the years by the Democracy Research Project (DRP) of the University of Botswana. The article argues that the reasons for the lower participation rates among the youth are to be found in traditional Tswana society's political culture that does not consider public affairs a domain for women and the youth. This culture is reproduced by the major agencies of socialisation such as the family, school system, political parties and the media.

Show moreOn this installment of "Your schools" Dr. Willis Dunbar moderates a discussion about "modern and progressive methods of education" with a panel composed of members of the Kalamazoo Junior Chamber of Commerce, a teacher from Kalamazoo Public Schools, and Dr. Loy Norrix, superintendent of Kalamazoo Public Schools. The Junior Chamber of Commerce is concerned that modern, progressive methods of education will make it more difficult for companies to identify potential employees graduating from the Kalamazoo Public School system because graduates will not have met broadly agreed upon goals. Norrix argues that a modern, progressive method of education leads to higher quality students across the board and enables teachers to reach each student through the methods which the students will respond to best.

In an installment of the radio program "Your governor," Michigan Governor G. Mennen "Soapy" Williams discusses the results of the most recent legislative session. Williams strongly argues that the "economy budget" passed by the legislature masks an actual increase in spending because money is only appropriated for nine months worth of funding. He says that the budget as passed will lead to tax hikes and additional appropriations in order to overcome the hidden budget shortfalls. Williams...
Show moreIn an installment of the radio program "Your governor," Michigan Governor G. Mennen "Soapy" Williams discusses the results of the most recent legislative session. Williams strongly argues that the "economy budget" passed by the legislature masks an actual increase in spending because money is only appropriated for nine months worth of funding. He says that the budget as passed will lead to tax hikes and additional appropriations in order to overcome the hidden budget shortfalls. Williams also says that many of the construction projects he proposed, such as a new University of Michigan outpatient facility, were funded for only down payments and planning, in order to give the appearance of cost savings. He says that this maneuvering by the legislature commits the state to the project without providing money to carry out the actual work.
