\u201cDie jeug van vandag is die leiers van m\u00f4re,\u201d het Nelson Mandela in 1990 ges\u00ea toe hy \u2019n ho\u00ebrskool in Boston, Johannesburg, toegespreek het. <\/p>\n
Nasionale Jeugdag vind m\u00f4re (16 Junie) plaas en herdenk die geskiedkundige Soweto-opstand van 1976 nadat die apartheidsregering opdrag gegee het om Afrikaans, tesame met Engels, die taal van onderrig te maak in swart skole, en die inheemse tale wat die skoliere kon praat, af te water. <\/p>\n
Op 16 Junie 1976 het duisende skoliere \u2019n protesoptog uitgevoer in Gauteng wat hierdie wet betwis het, en teen die apartheidsregering geveg het.<\/p>\n
Die polisie was veronderstel om honde, traangas en rubberkoe\u00ebls op die skoliere te gebruik, maar het in plaas daarvan op die skoliere losgebrand en meer as 500 doodgeskiet, waarvan Hector Pieterson een van die eerste slagoffers was. <\/p>\n
\n Standard<\/span> het Ho\u00ebrskool Somerset in Worcester besoek en met vier van sy leerders gesels oor presies w\u00e1t Jeugdag vir hulle beteken. <\/p>\n Volgens Ruva Guzha (gr. 10) is Jeugdag \u2019n herinnering aan hoe ver Suid-Afrika se jeug bereid is om te gaan vir hul reg op onderrig, terwyl Aaleyah Cochrane (gr. 9) verduidelik dat dit \u2019n belangrike dag is om te herdenk omdat dit gaan oor onderwys, wat die sleutel tot sukses is vir die land se jeug.<\/p>\n Volgens Shauaghan Buys (gr. 8) ervaar vandag se jeug vele uitdagings wat insluit groepsdruk, waar sommige leerders mekaar aanmoedig om nie te leer nie omdat dit nie \u201ccool<\/span>\u201d is nie, en eerder te verval in dwelm- en drankmisbruik.<\/p>\n \u201c \u2019n Kind kan nie leer as hy\/sy honger is nie,\u201d s\u00ea Ongezi Wekhuphiso (gr. 10), wat verduidelik dat hongerte nog \u2019n uitdaging vir die jeug is. <\/p>\n \u201cLeerders sien nie die silwer randjie nie,\u201d s\u00ea Guzha.<\/p>\n Volgens haar is dit \u2019n uitdaging vir sommige jeug om die belangrikheid van \u201charde werk om \u00earens te kom\u201d in te sien as hulle minderbevoorreg is en bewus is van soveel jeug wat beter moontlikhede het omdat hulle uit bevoorregte huise kom.<\/p>\n Cochrane voeg ook by dat skoolleerders dikwels gedemotiveerd is om skool toe te gaan en hul tersi\u00eare studies voort te sit as hulle die broodwinner moet wees, en hul familie moet onderhou.<\/p>\n Nog \u2019n uitdaging is die ho\u00eb werkloosheidsyfer, s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n \u201cDie jeug wil nie skool toe gaan of gaan studeer as daar nie werk is vir hulle nie, wat is dan die doel?\u201d<\/p>\n \n Volgens Wekhuphiso is daar \u2019n groot persentasie van die jeug wat sukkel met hul geestesgesondheid weens die \u201cgrootmens\u201d-verantwoordelikhede wat hulle in die gesig staar, en dat dit nie genoeg aandag geniet vir die jeug om gemotiveerd te voel om aan hul toekoms te dink nie.<\/p>\n \u201cDie staat hou die jeug se verlede, hede en toekoms in sy hande,\u201d volgens Guzha, wat ook s\u00ea dat baie kinders negatief voel oor die toekoms van Suid-Afrika, omdat die plaaslike en nasionale regering nie die beste belange van die jeug op hul hart dra nie.<\/p>\n Kaylee Wehr en Lidia Klink (beide gr. 11) van die Ho\u00ebrskool Bre\u00ebrivier, het aan Standard <\/span>ges\u00ea dat baie van die uitdagings wat vandag se jeug ervaar te doen het met armoede, en hulle as gevolg daarvan nie kan bekostig om skool toe te gaan, of verder te droom oor tersi\u00eare studies en \u2019n beroep van hul keuse nie. <\/p>\n Volgens Wehr moet die jeug probeer uitstyg bo hul omstandighede, en \u2019n beter toekoms vir hulself uitkerf as waarin hulle grootgeword het en waaraan hulle gewoond is. <\/p>\n \u201cOns bly in Avianpark, en ek en my suster slaap in dieselfde kamer,\u201d s\u00ea Klink.<\/p>\n Volgens haar is sy vasbeslote om eendag \u2019n groter huis te besit met \u2019n goeie werk, en sal sy hard werk totdat sy dit realiseer.<\/p>\n Klink behoort aan Worcester se junior stadsraad, en beide is deel van die verteenwoordigende raad van leerders (VRL) by die Ho\u00ebrskool Bre\u00ebrivier en dien in verskeie komitees by hul skool.<\/p>\n Sinegugu Silara, \u2019n gr.11-leerder aan die Pionierskool, asook junior burgemeester, s\u00ea dat Suid-Afrika se jeug die lig in Suid-Afrika se donker tonnel is, deurdat baie van diegene vasbeslote is om hard te werk.<\/p>\n Die Worcester-jeuguitreikprogram bied ook m\u00f4re van 08:30 tot 13:00 \u2019n loopbaanuitstalling in die Worcester-stadsaal waar leerders gratis \u2019n draai kan gaan maak om meer uit te vind oor loopbaankeuses. Volgens Paulett Apollis, ko\u00f6rdineerder van die uitreikprogram, sal di\u00e9 dag daarop fokus om leerders bekend te stel aan verskeie loopbaan-opsies, insluitend universiteite, techni\u00adkons,
