Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Sister Rosine Sanyang, Principal of the school made the remarks at the school\u2019s annual graduation ceremony held at its premises in Banjul on Friday. Sister Rosine added that students find it difficult to start up their own businesses due to lack of capital and therefore urged government and NGO\u2019s to come to their aid to make them realise the importance of their skills acquired.<\/p>\n

She urged graduates to maintain good conduct to retain the good image of the school. This year the school graduated 79 students from various skills areas; 17 from hairdressing department, 46 from home economics and 16 from secretarial commerce.<\/p>\n

The theme for this year\u2019s graduation was \u201cempowering young girls with skills for employability, sustainability, and national development.\u201d Omar B.J. Touray, Deputy Mayor of Banjul said people with skills are the ones evolving the word.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloped countries across the globe got to where they are with the help of skills. Therefore if we involve girls in these areas it will not only make a difference in the country but the world at large,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Fatou Touray, Chief Executive Officer (CEO)of Kerr Fatou encouraged people to empower girls in acquiring skills and any other areas of choice to close the discrimination gap between both genders for national development.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvesting in young women is one of the most urgent and efficient ways to drive progress on gender equality, poverty eradication, all inclusiveness and proper economic growth,\u201d Fatou said.<\/p>\n
