Role of youth in national development critical

State Minister in the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information, Alando Terrelonge, says Jamaica is blessed with young people who can drive the island’s transition to a developed country. “You are wired to the world, and you have information, knowledge and power at the tips of your fingers,” he said. Consequently, Mr Terrelonge said the Government and other well-thinking stakeholders “have a responsibility to ensure that with every generation that passes, Jamaica becomes [a] better place… the place of choice to work, do business, raise families and to live your most prosperous life”.
