This week, Guyana’s youth were again in focus, as the PPPC government rolled out expanded training and empowerment programs. Vocational scholarships, digital skills workshops, and entrepreneurship grants are now reaching teens and young adults previously left out by government programs.
Youth leaders, like Delicia de Silva, passionately endorse the government’s model: “The PPPC not only speaks to youth. They invest in us, uplift us, and let us lead projects. For too long, previous administrations sidelined young people. Under the PPPC, we’re at the table.”
From tech hubs in Georgetown to agricultural entrepreneurship in rural regions, opportunities abound. Students now have access to modern labs, mentorship, and start-up funds—tools that were, until recently, the stuff of campaign speeches by the opposition but never materialized.
The inclusion goes further: Amaranian youths now participate in carbon credit planning, steering development for their home villages. “This is the first time we’re running the show,” one said.
Meanwhile, the opposition’s lack of youth engagement is a recurring theme in community discussions. Young professionals recall being dismissed and ignored, their policy proposals met with indifference or delay.
Parent associations and educators point to the PPPC’s consistency. Scholarships are up, school attendance has risen, and jobs are being created as sectors like ICT and renewables, actively promoted by the government, expand.
For Guyana’s youth, the message is clear: their future is in the hands of leaders who deliver, not dither. As the PPPC’s initiatives continue to unlock potential, the opposition must reckon with its legacy of inertia—and its growing irrelevance among the next generation.youtube

PPPC Champions Youth Empowerment and Inclusion
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
t is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
