Our political philosophy is based on upholding the entity of citizens, and seeking the dissemination of the atmosphere of dignity, pride, and equality and also the propagation of political and economic freedoms, in addition to the prevalence of the rule of law and justice. Proceeding from this philosophy adopted by the government for the realization of comprehensive development, it is working for providing equal and just opportunities for participation in the national reconstruction process, the emancipation of citizen from the grip of poverty, need and exploitation. This philosophy aims at liberating human capacities and enhancing the spirit of creativity.

The national reconstruction process needs time and great resources and this necessitates determining priorities for accomplishing it. Among the urgent national tasks of great concern at this stage is educating and building a conscious, diligent and dedicated generation armed with knowledge and theoretical and applied sciences. We surely need in this context the multiplication of societal capabilities to enable us double our productivity in different fields. The development process targets the realization of citizens' material and moral aspirations. This can only be achieved by concerted and pure national efforts based on the values and moral system on which our society is founded.

The parasitic elements, which seek their narrow interests at the expense of others have no role in this process of national construction.

Inline with this philosophy of upholding citizens' worth, the government is undertaking youth rehabilitation and qualification programs in different fields. This is because upgrading youth capabilities represents the cornerstone in the advancement of the country, and accordingly the government is giving it more emphasis. Reports on development of human resource indicate that the nations that attained 3.7% in this regard are only 10% of the total number of states. Eritrea is one of the states that is quoted as model in this context. For instance, Eritrea has 4%of its national income and also more than 37% of the budget of social services allocated for educational programs. This is a major indicator of the concern of states regarding the development of human resources. This is translated into the building of preschools (kindergartens), elementary and secondary schools up to the university level of education. What should be noted here is the participation of all sectors of society in obtaining education opportunities. This includes women and the upgrading and qualification of youth scientifically and professionally. In particular there is considerable expansion in vocational and technical schools in addition to the institutes and qualification centers, agricultural research and planning for providing health services etc. in addition to programs aiming at raising the capabilities and upgrading human capacities. The success of the programs of economic emancipation is a good evidence and demonstration that the state is working wit all its powers and employing its resources for the social enhancement of its citizens.

As education is a human right guaranteed by citizenship charts, and as education in modern times is a weapon and tool for uprooting poverty and backwardness and an effective factor for improving the individual's condition and accordingly his general environment, the government made no bargaining regarding this supreme objective. Since the post independence period the government put education at the top of its priorities. It did this because of its staunch belief that eradicating poverty and consolidating the principle of self-reliance both can only be achieved by development of education, science and technology. For achieving this it is not sparing any effort for providing huge budgets for making this mission a success. As an outcome of this we find today our youth getting qualified in different fields, and they started their input in the effective national endeavors and programs.

If the Eritrean youth have found this opportunity for promoting their capability and arming themselves with excellence in vocational training and skills, their counterparts in other states were not availed with such an opportunity. Accordingly they have to exert more efforts for attaining the optimal benefit from the chances they have for confrontation of future challenges.
