We invite you as a parent/grandparent to support this intervention, which prevents the upcoming generations from becoming mentally blind with regard to our country’s development, like we are, and thereby stop a grim future befalling Uganda.
Our mental Blindness
The world that you and I grew up in prevents the African mind from growing the attitudes that are critical to development. The absence of these attitudes in the African mind-set denied you, me and the rest of the Africans the right thinking for the country’s development. The absence of this right thinking rendered us mentally blind with regard to our countries’ development.
Its Impact
It is not possible to correct the mental blindness described above. This is why we fail, one generation after another, to move our societies out of poverty and underdevelopment. As this data clearly informs, Uganda is set to lose its second chance to develop, namely this 50-year period (2012 – 2062), and this will have profound negative implications on our children/grandchildren. The only way out of this is to prevent the upcoming generations from becoming also mentally blind.
Making a brighter Uganda Unstoppable
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.
