Secondly, there are trade-offs between cost and benefit in some reform proposals. It is important that the Government publishes best estimates of costs of reforms so that the public can decide how much the society is willing to invest in education. Education is a big part of youth policy, but there is more to it. The Government ought to draw one up as quickly as possible for public consultation and discussion. While the Charter of Youth represents a set of excellent universal ideals, the new youth policy should be more specifically related to youths, and should help them gradually gain independence.
Youths are the one sector of the society that is most computer literate.
The Commission on Youth needs to set up a centralized website that gives wide-ranging information about every aspect of life relating to youths. It should also talk with youths of all backgrounds and abilities in their vicinities. The Government also needs to reshape its conservative attitudes toward sex and drugs. What youths need is non-judgemental information and not slogans such as 'just say no'. Sexuality, reproductive health, smoking, mental health, suicide, obesity, eating disorders, and drug-related problems are examples of health issues that many youths face.
