Charlestown, Nevis (Thursday, November 22, 2012)--
Attorney General and Minister of Justice of St. Kitts- Nevis, the Hon.
Patrice Nisbett met with the young people of St. James' Parish on
Tuesday (Nov. 20) to interact with them and discuss various issues of
mutual interest.
“The
young people are our future, and I believe it is very important that we
understand their needs, so that we as a community and a government can
implement programs to fulfill those needs,” said Hon.Nisbett.
The meeting began with a focus on the topic of education, and Hon.
Nisbett noted the role that the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP)-led Nevis
Island Administration has played in promoting university education among
young Nevisians. Nisbett said the NIA always impressed on the youth the
importance of education, encouraged them to pursue tertiary education
and given financial assistance to those who qualify.
Mr. Nisbett also noted the Administration's policy of allowing all
persons who had previously been denied regular public school education.
He said the present NRP-led Administration has sanctioned teenaged
mothers returning to school, so they could continue their education, and
the government has also allowed Rastafarian children to attend school
without head-wear.
Youth entrepreneurship was also discussed during the meeting. The Hon.
Nisbettt encouraged young people to come forth and bring their business
ideas. He also commented on the opportunities that are available for
young people to receive financial aid and skills through such agencies
as Creativity for Empowerment and Business Opportunity (CEBO) and the
Small Enterprise Development Unit (SEDU).
Other issues discussed were career choices, renewable energy and
development for the St. James community.
The Hon. Patrice Nisbett has long been community-minded and
youth-oriented. In his youth, he was a member of the Combermere
Methodist Church Boys Brigade and the Nevis Youth Council, while in his
adult life he served as the President of the Nevis Cricket Association.
