Details of the Initiative
The announcement was made by Vice-Chancellor Professor Timothy Adebayo during a visit by Mind Education experts from China and Korea. The experts were at ACU to launch a mind education project aimed at addressing social vices and promoting personal development among students.
Origins of the Program
Professor Adebayo shared the background of the initiative, stating, “The Mind Education project began following my visit to South Korea in 2023 to participate in the International Youth Fellowship (IYF) program. Other Vice-Chancellors and heads of tertiary institutions from Nigeria attended the program, where we observed how mind education is used to combat social vices among the youth in Korea and other Asian countries.”
Inspired by the program’s success, ACU entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Mind Educators to introduce this innovative training to its students.
Objectives and Implementation
The project coordinator, Robert Udo, explained the objectives of the Mind Education program, emphasizing its focus on reshaping the mindset of youths to overcome social vices such as sexual violence, drug abuse, and other corrupt practices.
Since its inception in 2001, the IYF has helped many youths tackle their challenges and integrate better into society. The Mind Education program at ACU includes various activities designed to foster personal growth and develop a positive mindset.
“At ACU, we recently held a Mind Education Camp, employing games, dance, lectures, and other activities to help students develop a strong, positive mindset,” Udo stated.
Integration into Curriculum
The Mind Education course will be integrated into ACU’s curriculum, with students required to complete examinations at the end of their training. This approach ensures that ACU graduates are not only academically proficient but also mentally equipped to face societal challenges and contribute positively to their communities.
International Support
The initiative has received international support, with volunteers from China and South Korea actively participating in the program. These volunteers are eager to make a positive impact on the lives of Nigerian youths while also learning from their hosts.
Conclusion
This innovative triple certification initiative by Ajayi Crowther University sets a new standard in tertiary education in Nigeria, equipping graduates with comprehensive skills and knowledge to excel both academically and personally.
