Young mothers graduate from education ministry’s reintegration scheme

Thirty-eight mothers are now equipped with cosmetology skills to find employment or become entrepreneurs in the field.

This was made possible through the Re-integration of Adolescent Mothers into the Education System programme undertaken by the Ministry of Education. A release yesterday from the ministry said that the programme was coordinated by the Health and Family Life Education (HFLE) Unit of the Ministry and the Carnegie School of Home Econo-mics in Georgetown, and Kevin’s Reflections in Region Ten.

The programme benefited young mothers from Regions Three, Four and Ten.

Following a symposium on resilience last Wednesday, the young mothers were given start-up kits and care packages at the graduation ceremony, the release said.
