Essay contests good for youths
Published:
Tuesday, March 13, 2012
I write to commend the Government and all the state-owned agencies/operations that offer essay-writing competitions to the nation’s youths. Not only do they help with the students’ educational development, ie, their writing skills and creativity, the essays encourage them to see how what is learned in school can apply to other aspects of life.
Many young people have been able to win much needed funds and equipment for their school as well as something for themselves. In a way it also shows them how they can earn money through hard work. I would like the Government and the state-owned companies to continue offering (and maybe increase) these essay-writing, poetry and art competitions to stu- dents as they are of great benefit to the youths.
