The Presidential Youth Unemployment Initiative (PYEI), implemented as the Basic Education Employment Initiative (BEEI) in the Basic Education Sector, was introduced to create jobs in the sector, while also alleviating some of the high levels of unemployment amongst the youth.
Through the programme, around 280,000 young people became employed in various schools across the country as education and general school assistants.
