YOUTH & AFFORDABLE RELEVANT EDUCATION The bottom lime is Youth and Affordable Relevant EducatUon. Politicians, edu- cators, public officiais, school trustees, commnentators and news broadcasters can liter- ally smother us wlth the problemns of dowrisizing gov- emnment, changlng tax rates, changIng educational bound- ari es, and core standards inour schools. problems of youth, and unemployment figures etc., but in my hum- I ble opinion ail of these prob- lems are insignificant when compared with, the positive effects of keeplng a leading institution like Durham College and Ulversity Centre as an updated faiity to pro- vide the youth of the area served by the College with a relevant affordable education that will make them useful and sought-after employees and good citlzens.
