Graduate Volunteer Scheme � Mediocrity at its best

The feeling and reaction to the scheme was unanimous, we were all equally disturbed by the apparent bleak future that is looming in our beloved country especially in the education sector and youth employment issues. I then took a decision to make my views and that of my peers’ public, for I cannot be a prisoner of my conscience. 

At first the BDP government enslaved our brothers and sisters with a plethora of exploitative initiatives such as Ipelegeng, Internship program and now it has gone for the jugular with the introduction of the so-called Graduate Volunteer Scheme. Given the nature and character of the BDP- a neo-liberal proponent, there was nothing shocking about this announcement.
