Nation Builders International department of education operates as an educational think tank and overseas the running of Nation Builders International Institute for human development & Nation Builders International institute for strategic studies. Our view on education is inclusive and progressive in nature. We believe that, education which limits its aim to furnishing individuals with credentials so as to qualify for existing Jobs opportunity was only good for the 11th century. If such educational scheme is practiced today, it will inevitably take us back 10 centuries behind. 21st century educational strategy should eliminate serotypes in our educational vision and inspire people to study in preparation for life and not just for jobs. For this to be possible, specialization in education should be eliminated from our school program. A holistic educational approach which exposes individuals to the principles of life is a broader scale and the need for human development in its entirety should be encouraged. This understanding is what makes Nation Builders International department of education unique. We strive to develop educational curriculums with the aim of providing individuals with the understanding of the purpose of education, its inclusive and progressive importance in developing an inclusive, integrated and multidimensional individual who can’t be stranded in life but can create his/her own world or contribute to this world by using the available to achieve the desirable.
Education / Citizenship Development
Posted on 11 sep 2010 by Dr. Benard Etta | CEO NBI
Education is the primary action in the process of achieving citizenship development. In fact, the best legacy a nation can leave with her citizens is quality education. We will have to consider the context of education needed in citizenship development.
Not any type of education can assist a nation into achieving citizenship development. One can go through school without being enlightened. One can be educated without being learned. To achieve citizenship development through educational scheme, the educational vision must be based and geared towards achieving the following:
1) Moral and ethical development ......more on this here
2) Global awareness ......more on this here
3) Talent / potential development ......more on this here
4) Geared towards strategic studies ......more on this here
5) Technical Education......more on this here
An Educational scheme based and geared towards achieving the above will inevitably result to citizenship development.
