During this year’s Productivity Week the Productivity Unit in the Ministry of Employment, Immigration and Civil Status in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development launched a Poster Competition under the theme”My Seychelles, My Work, My Responsibility”(“Mon Sesel, Mon Travay, Mon Responsabilite”).
The aim of the competition was to promote and foster awareness on the importance of productivity at an early age. It is a good strategy to get students attained to productivity issues at the earliest of age so that the concept carries through them to adult life.
It was also an opportunity for the students to reflect on the mentioned theme, come up with innovative and creative ideas on how to use the mentioned theme in their own perspective through the Poem Competition.
Furthermore the Productivity Unit in the Ministry of Employment, Immigration and Civil Status wanted the students to participate in conceptualizing things associated with productivity.
