BRISBANE: The Government will continue to assist organisations keen on helping young people in need, such as school dropouts, to get an education and employment, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said.

Impressed with the "BoysTown" approach which employs public-private smart partnership to help young people in need in Australia, he said assistance to such people need not necessarily have to come from the government alone.
