Apprentice Rushid Afzali says society should use the term LEETs (Looking for Education, Employment and Training), rather than NEETs (Not in Education, Employment and Training).

Emma Greenwood, who’s in her final year of university, has spent nine months looking for a job. She tells us the process of looking for graduate employment is 'demoralising' and says there doesn't seem to be 'any point of change or hope at the moment'. It comes as unemployment for those aged 16-24 is at its highest for a decade.

After the CHEAP celebrations by the ANC–DA GNU, a terrifying and painful reality will set in. Over 656 000 learners passed Matric. Over 345 000 of them qualify for University Admission. Yet, DHET has less than 200 000 spaces across Universities and TVET Colleges for First-Time Entering Students. Meaning, HALF A MILLION young people will be pushed into the ranks of the NEET Youth (Not in Employment, Education, or Training). Already, close to 4 MILLION young people are trapped in the NEET category. If public funds were not being STOLEN from SETAs, CETs, NSF, and related skills programs, these learners could ALL be absorbed into Post-School Education, which extends beyond Universities and TVET Colleges. #MatricResults2025

The Indian education system is a system of stamps, a system of certification. Crores of people think that after such certifications, after paying lakhs of rupees to the billionaires, their children will get employment. This is a blatant lie. Your children cannot get employment in this country, no matter what they do... The billionaires have destroyed the employment system of the country... If students from IIT or IIM are not getting employment, how will you get it?"

REPORT: Faith leaders are reporting a 15% increase in church attendance following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to Fox News. Faith leaders are calling it "the Charlie Kirk effect" as people are flocking to church. Even before Charlie was killed, data revealed how people, specifically young adults, were turning to Christianity. Bible sales through August 2025 hit 10 million, one million more compared to the same point last year, according to BookScan. According to a study conducted earlier this year, church attendance among Gen Z has quadrupled in the UK. "In 2018, just 4% of 18–24-year-olds said that they attended church at least monthly. Today, says The Quiet Revival, this has risen to 16% with young men increasing from 4% to 21%, and young women from 3 to 12%," the Bible Society reported. Praise God.

Former Labour Health Secretary Alan Milburn conducted the review, and he says the first rung of the career ladder is "simply out of reach" for many young people. A group of 23-year-olds join Good Morning Britain to explain why finding a job feels like such a mission. #goodmorningbritain #employment #jobs

REPORT: Church attendance among Gen Z has quadrupled in the UK, reversing the trend of declining Christian affiliation. Gen Zers, many of whom didn’t even grow up in the church, say Christianity is providing them with answers they can’t find anywhere else. “In 2018, just 4% of 18–24-year-olds said that they attended church at least monthly. Today, says The Quiet Revival, this has risen to 16% with young men increasing from 4% to 21%, and young women from 3 to 12%,” Bible Society reported. “On some metrics, this data says that young people are actually more likely to be weekly religious attendees than millennials are,” said former pastor Ryan Burge to Vox. “This is huge, we’ve never seen that before. We always assumed religion’s going to continue to decline, and it doesn’t look like that decline is continuing.” According to the New York Times, the Catholic Church has baptized over 17,000 people in France, the highest yearly number in over 20 years. Amazing news. Video: natalyatoryanski / tt.

#Ethiopia: University students to teach for one year before graduation as part of new initiative, education minister says University students will be required to teach for one year before graduation as part of a new initiative, Education Minister Birhanu Nega (PhD) has announced. "A program named 'Ethiopian University Service' has been prepared," he said, adding that it will allow students to "serve the community in their field of study before graduation." Speaking on April 02, 2025, at the House of People's Representatives' Standing Committee on Human Resource Development, Employment and Technology Affairs, Birhanu linked the program to the country's teacher shortage. "There is a shortage of over 100,000 teachers," he said, noting that the initiative is among several efforts to "address the severe shortage of qualified teachers widely observed in the country." He explained that students "will be paid for their basic expenses and required to teach for one year" before entering their fourth year. Watch!

Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi On one side stands a 75-year-old leader who has already lived the greater part of his life. Fully aware that he is in the final quadrant of his journey, he continues to work tirelessly, day and night, not for personal gain, but to secure a stronger future for the next generation. Even knowing that he may not be alive to witness India in 2047 and beyond, his efforts remain focused on ensuring that our children inherit a developed, confident, and self-reliant nation. On the other side is a 55-year-old political dynast whose life has been defined more by inheritance than by achievement. He has contributed little of substance to the nation’s progress, having largely lived off privilege rather than responsibility. His politics thrives on negativity and obstruction, seeking to undermine growth rather than enable it. Instead of offering a constructive vision, his actions risk jeopardizing the future of our children and slowing the country’s momentum. #शर्म_करो_राहुल_गांधी
