Cuban Social Workers Focusing on Youth Problems
During an analysis of social work activities performed by more than 2,000 people in Camaguey over the past six months, . Party leader Salvador Valdes Mesa stressed the importance of sociological assessments and analysis of individuals, starting with their home life.
Valdes said one of the main tasks of the social worker's program is to help get previously unmotivated youth to resume their education or obtain employment. He added that in the upbringing of the new generation, social workers have a responsibility to help prevent the wasting of lives.
Besides the work with youth, other prioritized tasks assigned to social workers in 2005 are assistance to people with disabilities and the elderly.
The 200 delegates participating in the meeting agreed that youth leadership training should continue in Camaguey. In addition, increased efforts will be placed on improving the study habits and class attendance of 1,824 area young people studying at the university level.
