Senegal: Mary Teuw Niane calls for youth priority in national development

Professor Mary Teuw Niane has called for the prioritization of youth development as a cornerstone of Senegal's national future. As the new academic year begins, Niane emphasizes that the success of long-term national projects, specifically the Senegal 2050 National Transformation Agenda, depends on an educated, skilled, and confident younger generation.

Niane highlights that education and training serve not only to prepare individuals for specific professions—ranging from agriculture and fishing to engineering and medicine—but also to foster citizenship and community values. The importance of mastering mathematics, science, technology, and artificial intelligence is underscored as a necessity for participating in international competition.

Furthermore, the text notes that learning occurs across various environments, including schools, universities, workshops, and digital spaces, with the family playing a fundamental role in instilling responsibility and a desire to learn.
