Unemployed school-leavers

Letters

I AM writing to express my concerns over the grade 12 students who graduate each year and end up on the street.
Every year more than 28,000 grade 12 students leave school.
Can the Government do something to stop these young people ending up on the street with nothing much to do?
People are complaining about the rise in the incidence of petty crime on the streets of towns and cities and much of that is the result of school-leavers not being able to find employment.
