DIGNITY EDUCATION FIRST COMPLEX
Dignity First International (DIFI) understood the importance of imparting specific or result-oriented education to our children so that when they become adults they can rely on what they parents had worked tirelessly with them to achieve. Dignity Education First Complex is blend of environmental factors and the demands for quality jobs/life by emerging countries such as Cameroon wherein the level of creativity and self-employment is decreasing creating series of problems such as clandestine immigration, criminality, disillusion, poverty and vulnerability amongst the bulk of youths. Dignity Education First Complex seek to unveil talents and nurse them for future exploits by youths who still think that the Government is the only source of employment after education or who believe that education is an end to itself.
Dignity Education First Complex takes into account resolutions and declarations adopted by the international community and in Cameroon, in particular those relating to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the Education For All (EFA) goals, the Global Education First Initiative led by the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the outcomes of preparatory debates on the formulation of the post-2015 development agenda. It also takes into account the action plans on science and technology in Africa and the role of culture in development.
Dignity Education First Complex equally drew inspiration from the African Union’s strategic objectives designed to promote Pan-Africanism and African Renaissance to believe that Africa has long suffered and time has come for its children to take the lead in specific areas of their development without thinking low on themselves or their environment. Further more, recommendations contained in the evaluation of Priority Africa conducted in June 2012 helped considerably in the development of strategies of Dignity Education First Complex for its sustainable responses to the changes at work in African economies and societies especially in Cameroon.
Finally Dignity Education First Complex provides answers as to how can the youth population be educated and trained in order to be integrated into society through decent and stable employment, what types of education and what content are required to train young people so that they can participate fully in their country’s development and how can social cohesion be ensured within population groups increasingly faced with all forms of diversity? Dignity Education First Complex implement educational, cultural and scientific policies that contribute to the building of inclusive societies founded on observance of fundamental human rights of all with focus on how and where the acquired knowledge shall be used.
