VISION
The world faces the deepest global health, social and economic crises in a century, coupled with the growing destruction of biodiversity, the worsening impacts of the climate crisis, increasing and intersecting inequalities, and threats to fundamental rights.
Its envision are; to ensure that people in the society are able to have their voice heard on issues that are vital to their life, protect and promote their rights, have their view and perception genuinely consider when decisions are being made about their lives. To create a safe environment for the acquisition of knowledge, skills and understanding which makes us independent as we get to know in and outs of most the practical things in life which sometimes helps us to employ ourselves through the same.
THE SITUATIONS:
The Pursuit of Excellence: Excellence refers to the attainment of standards. Those standards are defined in relation to the purpose of the activity – which could be in intellectual pursuits. There is a need to include a wider range of standards by which young people might get a sense of achievement and be seen to excel.
Moral responsibility: All young people have the potential to be responsible about how they conduct their lives, form relations, decide upon future employment, treat the environment. Such responsibility operates within a context of virtues which need to be nurtures. It is important, therefore to see schools and colleges as moral, not just learning, communities.
Basic and wider skills : Essential to everything are ‘basic skills’ competence in reading, writing, listening and communicating. Added to those must now be competence in Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Ideals which Inspire: To educate is to open up what is humanely possible and thereby inspire and to enable young people to extend people to extend themselves beyond mediocre.
Educator’s Empowerment
The well-being and prosperity of societies is essentially dependent upon their human capital, which is embodied in the cognitive and non-cognitive capabilities of individuals. The implementation of egalitarian values in advanced economies has made their education systems enabling mechanisms, which provide individuals with equal opportunities to acquire skills, independent of their beliefs, socio-economic backgrounds, or political orientations. On the contrary, in less-developed economies, this mechanism becomes impaired to differing degrees; which can cause debilitation of the collective capabilities of individuals’ and pauperization of the available human capital.
