57% of South African students who enter Grade 1 don’t complete Grade 12. Youth dropping out from school or stuck in unemployment will start their adult life with less income and less financial security, which can delay their achievement of classical milestones of adulthood. Such a disruption in the transition of youth to an autonomous life can create significant long-term costs for societies and economies, undermining social cohesion and productivity levels as well as the potential for inclusive growth. Young people have specific needs and interests across all policy and service areas including in education and environment, among others.
