- We at IDEA believe that education is the one most critical aspect of human development.
- We believe education plays a critical role, not only in
laying out and enlarging the base for human capital in any given country, but
also in the redistribution of human wealth, and can be considered the most
important, if not the only, asset for the poor.
- IDEA believes that Education should be means to empower children and adults alike to become active participants in the transformation of their communities.
- Education has failed to address issues of self-worth, dignity and livelihoods.
- We realize that poor treatment in schools and loss of self worth and dignity result in drop outs or poor performance in examinations, thus undermining poor
students’ opportunities to progress to higher levels of
education. This, in turn, has a crippling effect on their ability to compete in
the job market and increases their sense of alienation from their communities.
