Programme carefully designed for Students in tertiary institutions across Nigeria.
MISSION TO SCHOOLS
Programme Overview
The Guardians of the Nation International (GOTNI) Leadership Club aims to bridge the leadership deficit among young people in both secondary and tertiary institutions by promoting a better understanding of leadership with a core focus on self-discovery, vision, critical thinking and problem solving while producing resource materials for teaching other young people across the world.
Research has shown that skills needed for life success in the 21st century requires more than the current traditional education being taught in our schools. It has therefore become very imperative that there has to be a blend of the traditional education with 21st century skills.
A survey conducted by The Partnership for 21st Century Skills revealed that employers felt that leadership skills is one of the major skills needed for success in the modern work place but is lacked by new hires.
The leadership clubs will employ a unique learning approach with the students proposing solutions to current national issues to internalize and strengthen their learnings. This will further reinforce the message to the students as well as provide a tool which can be used to creatively pass the message to other students reaching more people than those physically present at the training session.
