Hi, my name is Iram, I’m 17 years old and I’m from London Hackney. I’m also Co-Chairperson of the youth champions.
The reason why I wanted to participate in this programme as a young adult myself, is because I didn’t realise how important it was for my voice to be heard.
I want to show young adults just like myself the importance behind their voice being heard and how it changes and impacts their lives.
If I was Prime Minister for the day, I personally would also make it mandatory in primary and secondary schools to start testing children for learning disabilities as like dyslexia. Because kids even in college, they don’t find out they have dyslexia or ADHD or OCD and it’s just they’ve been struggling their whole life.
So if it was possible to be Prime Minister for the day and get that sorted so kids nowadays can work through school and make progress and proceed with the support that is needed.
