Sir: Unfortunately, no government has ever tried to integrate the youth in the national development programme. A vast majority of our youth are poorly educated. Those with Masters degrees usually find their subject is Greek to them. We also lack skilled labour. In order to address this problem, the federal and provincial governments should enhance the capacity of organisations dedicated to skill development such as the Directorate of Workers Education, Manpower Training Institute (MTI), Benazir Skill Development Programme, etc. Hashim AbroIslamabad
