Sathya Sai Institute in Zambia |
(Updated 24 Sep 2003)
|
The African Institute of Sathya Sai Education offers a unique program
and has a special place in the history of education in Africa. The
Institute is the product of “Sathya Sai Education in Human Values (SSEHV)
Programme”. The solution to the crisis in African education, we
believe, lies in the integration of the well-developed and tested
components of the Sathya Sai Education in Human Values program into the
national curriculum. The SSEHV strives for perfection in the education
system by analyzing and synthesizing the core values and codes of
conduct in African Culture into Human Values. Mr. Victor-Krishna Kanu is the Director of the African Institute of Sathya Sai Education. Aims of the Institute - To offer Africa the ideals of Sathya Sai Education in Primary and Secondary Schools, Colleges and Universities so as to develop academic excellence along with good character. - To act as a centre for training teachers and educators in Sathya Sai Education and to ensure that teachers put into practice the ideals of this program. - To encourage the teachers to become instruments to draw out the good qualities that are inherent in the people of Africa. - To conduct research on: - The philosophy and methodology of Sathya Sai Education within the African Continent in both traditional and modern sciences. - The effect of Sathya Sai Education on children, teachers and parents. - To publish suitable research material on Sathya Sai Education and other aspects of education in general. - To translate Sathya Sai Education literature into local languages including French. - To help and encourage the establishment of Sathya Sai Schools and to adopt schools in every country of Africa. - To conduct and introduce the concept of Sathya Sai Education to academics.
