Aruba youth prevention should link education, sport and development opportunities, AVP parliamentarian Jennifer Arends-Reyes said during a meeting with a Dutch House of Representatives delegation, according to NoticiaCla’s October 20 report.
Guidance beyond the primary-school years
Arends-Reyes raised the issue during an information exchange at Aruba’s Parliament with members of the Dutch Kingdom Relations Committee. She argued that guidance and structure should continue after school, including when students enter secondary education.
She said safe programs led by trained professionals could combine study support, sports and creative activities. Her position was that investment must cover personnel and programming as well as facilities.
Youth support discussed alongside Kingdom matters
The meeting also addressed AIOF, the Landspakket, HOFA and other Kingdom issues, according to the report. The source describes a parliamentary exchange and Arends-Reyes’s policy position; it does not announce funding approval or a new after-school program.
The account does not include a new timetable for expanding services.
