| Abstract: | The National Youth Service (NYS) is the most significant expression of President France Albert Rene’s will to transform Seychelles from a society divided by class, race and gender and heavily dependent on multinational capital to one where the principles and practice of socialist self-determination permeate all spheres of daily life. This article describes the background, philosophy and practice of the NYS in its first twelve months of operation. In addition some of the main problems facing policy-makers, students and staff are identified and the role of the NYS in Seychelles’ transition to socialism is considered. |
