Elsa Fernandes, Regional Secretary for Education, Science and Technology, attended the opening session of the V Meeting of Madeiran University Students. This initiative by the Association of Connected Young Madeirans aims to create opportunities for personal, academic, and professional development.
Addressing around 80 young people gathered to discuss topics such as employability and mental health, Fernandes praised the engaged generation, prepared to take an active role in building Madeira. "You can't change the world, but with our attitude, we can change the small worlds around us, and thus help build the world. So, always have many dreams and work to achieve them," she advised.
The secretary assured that the Regional Government invests to ensure no young person stops studying for economic reasons, announcing an increase in scholarship grants from 650 to 800 euros for the next academic year, benefiting an additional 600 families.
