Because it is not possible to correct our mental blindness with regard to development, we end up failing, not only from one generation after another but also from one country after another, to move our societies out of poverty and underdevelopment. The only way out of this predicament is to prevent upcoming generations from becoming mentally blind, i.e. what this site does for Uganda as described below.
The Intervention
Four interesting children’s story books, and their complementary online resources, engage learners systematically as they go through lower-secondary, mid secondary, high school and tertiary levels, with the primary objective of preventing them from becoming mentally blind with regard to Uganda’s development.
Briefly, the preventative process is as follows:
1. After this story book nurtures the right thinking for science-led development in the learners of senior 1-3, its complementary education tools promote growth of this attitude by guiding the learners into coming up with science-based solutions to numerous local challenges.
2. After this story book nurtures the right thinking crucial not only at recognising the country’s path out of underdevelopment, but also at pursuing it persistently, its complementary education tools promote growth of this attitude by guiding the learners towards turning local challenges into opportunities for jobs’ creation or wealth generation. Targeted are learners who are midway secondary school.
3. After this story book nurtures the right thinking for knowledge-led development in learners of high school, its complementary online education tools promote growth of this attitude by luring them onto the paths, and inspiring them, towards attaining optimally productive lives.
4. After this story book nurtures the right thinking for inclusive growth in the learners of tertiary institutions, its complementary education tools promote growth of this attitude by inspiring the learners into growing and expanding Uganda’s economy.
