Each first Friday of the month there will be forums for students to interact with mentors, professionals and counselors and the agendas of the meetings will be based on issues in the corporate world and global matters.
Conclusion Dire consequences are to occur when any of the tactics is not appropriately implemented. If communication fails then everything crumbles. If the society, for instance, is not involved in the problem-solving prevalence of some of this issues is guaranteed. It is only through research that important information is gathered else the voice of the community will remain suppressed. If the community lacks respect for the schools then it is tragic because the students in those schools are their children. Regt, J. P. Spector, S. World Bank.
