The pangs of unemployment have hit Malawi hard and now government is considering a systematic approach to dealing with the issue starting with an overhaul of the education system.
Malawi government says it is planning to include mind changing education in secondary schools in order to prepare the youth for entrepreneurship.
Minister of Labour and Manpower Development Henry Mussa said this after coming from South Korea where there was an International Youth Fellowship (IYF) summit.
Mussa said the IYF is a program that has been there for years in South Korea and it has been a success. He said the fellowship is an eye opener and it is to prompt the government to add it into the Malawi syllabus.
“The mind changing program the South Korea government developed for a long time has been a success and we intend to add it in the Malawi syllabus,” said Mussa.
He added that in Malawi, the International Youth Fellowship NGO Malawi chapter has acquired a piece of land and needs support from government to turn the land into a youth centre.
According to Mussa, once the centre is developed, mind changing lessons will be included in the syllabus as a subject so that youths are able to stand on their own after they fail to acquire a jobs.
This is a good idea, but the government should notice that it is better to start entrepreneurship education earlier. In Israel, entrepreneurship education starts at elementary schools.

We took power from Britain 53 yrs ago, without having proper underground mechanism on how to bring investors to uplift our economy goals.
The song or tune Malawi sang was Chuma chili mnthaka basi,
Industrisation, miming is the major start pack in additional to Agricultural input.
Malawi’s leadership forgotten all of this idea, and now they are reaping the outcome.
Innocent lives are victims. Where is leadership solution?
Heavily relying on Agriculture, Donner’s and Aids has cost Malawi dearly, that as it is now, The pressure is on the leadership.
Failing dismally on investing in infrastructure developments like Roads network, Energy and sanitation projects has killed Malawi
Malawi loses unique graduates, professionals, skilled and semiskilled trades, even local farmers immigrates a broad, because of lack of general support to them.
Malawians are all over the world for survival, was it made only for Malawians to be over looked in foreign countries?
Before training someone to become a cooperate associates, prepare windows first for their challenges to be solved.
Passports business as also your drain brain career has also to be over looked, or those all revenues you collect must start working for those cooperates capital or starter pack.
Malawi
