CRITICAL AND CREATIVE EDUCATION FOR THE NEW AFR...

This book is about re-inventing Africa - it aims to induct a new cohort of dedicated
professionals  guided not by material gains and power  but by personal commitment  in building
a better society. It is about an education that develops responsible citizens inspired by the
desire to serve their fellow men and women  people who can contribute their time and talents to
make society a better place in which to live. Unless people are empowered by an education
tailored to address their needs  they cannot be effective participants in bringing about
constructive change. An education that prepares Africans to live confidently  as Africans  in
today's globalized world is a prerequisite for developing an active and responsible citizenry.
The book also examines some of the key critical areas on which African countries need to focus
their attention: poverty eradication  combating corruption  peace  security and development 
democracy and constitutionalism  good governance  social justice  globalization and
empowerment. It criticizes extremes  creates a healthy synthesis of African and Western thought
about education - particularly education for citizenship and for social transformation - an
education which concerns itself with human dignity  social equality and respect  rather than
fear  for authority.
