Minister of Education, Vocational Training, Innovation, Digital Transformation and Information Hon. Phillip Jackson has called for young adults to engage students by forming community service clubs.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Support for Education and Training (SET) Cohort 12 on Friday, 27th March,2026, Minister Jackson encouraged the former interns to create organisations such as a Homework or Mentorship Club.

The Education Minister noted that this can go a long way in assisting students in need of such guidance in many communities.

“If you know someone in your village or some students in your village that can benefit from your expertise and your care on an afternoon, maybe for one hour, help them with their homework, there are some students in your village and I think you know them, who can really benefit from your help… by enriching their lives, you are also enriching your lives…you can also become a mentor for younger students,” Minister Jackson encouraged.

Minister Jackson said initiatives like these serves to build stronger communities and empower young people as agents of positive change.
