Graduated but unemployed: who to blame?

Eliabu IZODUKIZA

Unemployment is an issue for the youth in Burundi. The rate keeps increasing. Reasons include the lack of entrepreneurial experience for young graduates, the content of the academic curricula that doesn’t match the reality of the time and false assumptions over the outcome of studies.

Dorine Dusabe

Self-confidence, change of mindset, and a will of making the difference are the qualities which women had not had before. However, nowadays, things are changing even if there are still some things that need to be done. A woman has long since been underestimated.

Despite that, the woman of today is becoming aware of her abilities that lead…
