As we commemorate this year’s Human Rights Month under the theme “Making Human Dignity Real,” Youth Capital together with Equal Education are calling on policymakers to look into the systemic challenges undermining the human dignity and constitutional right to further education for students in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges.
