What you need to know:
- These are fresh school leavers; if not moderated, they’ll spend all their time on gadgets.
- Various schools have designed a programme to engage and keep the Form Four leavers to avoid having them get lost or be absorbed by the world.
Every day, we lose very many young souls in ways we can’t really comprehend. All this dates back to when the Form Four students are done with examinations and have nobody to give them direction. They are left to loiter and wander without focus and are, hence, vulnerable to any danger.
Most high school leavers stay idle and waste a lot of time. They then fall into the temptation of drug and substance abuse, unsafe sex and pornography. There is a need for a programme to keep this lot engaged until they join college or university.
