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.
