The Government is undertaking significant efforts to nurture a generation that embodies profound love for the nation.
In this regard, the National Service Program, initiated by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, is receiving overwhelming public support. This program aims to develop a responsible, disciplined, and resilient youth population that is physically, spiritually, and mentally healthy, while fostering a strong work ethic and patriotic values.
Following the completion of the first phase of the Maldivian National Service, several participants who expressed further interest among the 344 graduates have now departed for B. Kihaadhoo to undergo specialized vocational training.
The National Service Vocational Training is a targeted program designed specifically for students who have successfully completed the National Service Initial Training. This current intake includes 66 participants representing 35 islands across 15 atolls.
This vocational training program is being conducted at the military facility in B. Kihaadhoo. Spanning four months, this initiative is a crucial step toward building a robust generation dedicated to Maldivian nationalism. According to the Ministry of Defence, participants who successfully complete the program will be awarded a minimum of a Level 3 Certificate.
President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has highlighted this initiative as a cornerstone of the government’s efforts to build a responsible citizenry—individuals who possess self-confidence, steadfast faith, physical and spiritual well-being, and a deep-seated love for their country.
The primary objectives of the program are to prepare youth for careers within the Maldives’ security services, facilitate recruitment through national service, and cultivate qualities such as unity, integrity, discipline, respect, and patience in both word and deed.
The training programs for the Maldivian National Service are conducted at Lh. Maafilaafushi. The curriculum encompasses Maldivian nationalism, responsible citizenship, religious education, leadership development, and language proficiency. Furthermore, the program includes physical fitness and endurance training to promote health, alongside drill and discipline exercises aimed at strengthening character and conduct.
The Government remains confident that this program will provide a sustainable solution to various negative social issues currently prevalent within the community.
