CS Machogu’s Call For Mindset Education
The Cabinet Secretary for Education in Kenya, Ezekiel Machogu, has expressed a willingness to learn from other countries to enhance education growth and curriculum development in the country.
Speaking through Ibrahim Issa, the assistant director of Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET), during the launch of the National Mind Education program at the International Youth Fellowship (IFY), Machogu said that programmes offered by religious organizations are best suited for youth and young adults who are in the early stages of career and professional development.
The CS added that the government will leverage the lessons learned from Korea to change students’ mindsets and character, hence reducing cases of student unrest, arson, and teenage pregnancies in schools.
Machogu noted that the National Mind Education Program by IFY is an initiative to inspire Kenyans to think positively in their endeavours, and also to break free from the personal frame of limitations and challenges.
He hailed the program, saying that it stands out among others that raise young people as leaders and will unite and foster the next generation.
Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communication and the Digital Economy, Eliud Owalo, praised Korea for its great impact on society through its Christian broadcast station.
Through a speech read on his behalf by Wesley Maritim, Director of Administration in the Ministry of ICT, Owalo said that many Kenyans have acquired skills through training, internship, and mentorship in journalism besides creating employment opportunities.
Yohan Kim, Director of the International Youth Fellowship in Kenya, said that to overcome difficulties and problems among the youth, the institution has endeavored to help through exchange programs and adopting good communication skills.
“It is by discovering the root cause of the problem of the mind by combining mind education and the bible, and finding fundamental solutions from within,” said Mr Kim.
