Barrow Government Moves to Bridge the Gap Between Education and Jobs
November 13, 2026
Cabinet has approved The Gambia’s first National Internship Policy, aimed at helping students and graduates gain practical workplace experience and prepare for the job market.
For too long, young Gambians have completed their education without the experience employers demand. This policy seeks to change that by connecting education with real workplace opportunities.
The Barrow administration deserves recognition for this initiative, but the real measure of success will be how many young people benefit from it.
The message is clear: policies must translate into jobs, opportunities and a better future for Gambian youth.
The choice of leadership should be judged by delivery, accountability and results.
