Disability is not a barrier in skilling youth for the future

Photographer's caption: This young man has not let his disability hinder him from acquiring skills. He is confidently pursuing advanced technology training in the TVET sector. Disability should not be a barrier to skilling youth for the future. In fact, promoting inclusivity and providing equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities is not only a moral imperative but also beneficial for society.
