The book link is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outskirtspress.com\/CreativeEducationDDV\">www.outskirtspress.com\/CreativeEducationDDV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word;\">Creative Education is an original educational model, paradigm, and theory which seeks to address the education and employment crises in the world in general and in Africa in particular. These crises are characterized dropout rates of learners,  by astronomical spiraling unemployment, traditional underemployment and the new phenomenon of unemployability.<\/p>\n \n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word;\">For Creative Education, the aforementioned issues are warning signals that there is an imperative need to rethink education by reconsidering its deontological purpose, function, principles, goals and methods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word;\">\u2018Creative Education - DDV: SEE - Discover, Develop, Valorize Self-Employing Employers\u2019, is thus a comprehensive, unique, revolutionary, and practical paradigm which aims to transform each person\u2019s ontogenetic potentials to their highest levels, for individual and collective empowerment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Creative Education is the movement from traditional \u2018superficial fixing of issues of failure, dropout, unemployment, underemployment and unemployability of learners\u2019, to discovering, developing and valorizing learners\u2019 potentials so that the latter can be self-employed employers.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Functions of education are therefore byproducts or consequences of schooling. The following are some of the \u2018functions\u2019 which have become \u2018goals\u2019 for educational systems:<\/p><ol style=\"margin-left: 35px;\"><li style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Capacity\/ability to evaluate information and to predict future outcomes (decision-making)<\/li><li style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Capacity\/ability to seek out alternative solutions and evaluate them (problem solving and critical thinking)<\/li><li style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Development of mental and physical skills: motor, thinking, communication, social, and aesthetic.<\/li><li style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Knowledge of moral practices and ethical standards acceptable by society\/culture.<\/li><li style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Capacity\/ability to earn a living: career education.<\/li><li style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Sense of well-being: mental and physical health.<\/li><li style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Self-esteem, self-image, self-concept, self-efficacy.<\/li><\/ol><p style=\"font-size: 20px; padding-left: 35px; padding-right: 35px;\">In other words, the aforementioned \u2018functions\u2019 are not educational goals, if the definition of education has an educing connotation as found in \u2018educere\u2019, as much as they are \u2018tools\u2019 which are supposed to facilitate the development of educed potentials of an individual. Thus, when \u2018functions\u2019 become \u2018goals\u2019 in educational systems, there is bound to be misplaced priorities, inverted mission and vision, and misallocation of resources, for negative outcomes.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2513\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2513\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\" class=\"elementor-toggle-title\">Faulty Educational Philosophies <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2513\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2513\"><p><style>\nol {<br \/>\n    counter-reset: foo;<br \/>\n    margin: 0;<br \/>\n    padding: 15px;<br \/>\n}<\/p>\n<p>ol > li {<br \/>\n    counter-increment: foo;<br \/>\n    list-style: none;<br \/>\n    list-style-position: inside;<br \/>\n    padding-left: 25px;<br \/>\n    padding-right:35px;<br \/>\n    position: relative;<br \/>\n}<\/p>\n<p>ol > li::before {<br \/>\n    content: counter(foo) \".\";<br \/>\n    left: 0;<br \/>\n    position: absolute;<br \/>\n    top: 0;<br \/>\n}<\/p>\n<\/style><\/p><p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; padding-right: 35px; padding-left: 25px;\">Traditional educational systems, that is, all those preceding Creative Education, for example, essentialism, perennialism, progressivism, reconstructionism, experimentalism, existentialism, and pedagogy, focus heavily on <strong>WHAT<\/strong> and <strong>HOW<\/strong> we should teach the curriculum aspect in education, not <strong>WHO<\/strong> is to be taught and <strong>HOW<\/strong>, which is the essence of Creative Education.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; padding-right: 35px; padding-left: 25px;\">The aforementioned educational philosophies concentrate on \u2018functions\u2019 or derivatives of the educational process, making the latter \u2018core purposes\u2019.

Another challenge is that most graduates are trained using obsolete and imported theories which are inapplicable in the local workplace.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 35px; padding-right: 35px;\"><em>Inadequate labour market information <\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 35px; padding-right: 35px;\">One reason for the mismatch between demand and supply lies in the lack of appropriate and updated labour market information, which leads to a discrepancy between labour market demand and supply.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 35px; padding-right: 35px;\"><em>Discrepancies between graduate expectations versus market reality <\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 35px; padding-right: 35px;\">A major element which impacts on the unemployability of youth and graduates is the unrealistic expectations and demands of young employees, especially given their lack of experience and skills. In addition, most youth and graduates are unaware of the exigencies of the New World of Work and the New Psychological Contract.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 35px; padding-right: 35px;\"><em>Lack of work experience <\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 35px; padding-right: 35px;\">In general, the divide between school and the world of work is imposed upon students by the educational systems, in conformity to policies and pedagogical approaches in each country. Similarly, social and cultural norms play a role in how and whether young people are exposed to work environments.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 35px; padding-right: 35px;\"><em>Lack of critical life skills training <\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 35px; padding-right: 35px;\">Another common complaint about graduates that make them not appealing to the employers is that of their lack of skills and experiences. Curricular contents in educational institutions stress core competencies in reading, writing and arithmetic \u2013 and core subjects. Life skills such as social skills, interpersonal relationships, motivation, critical thinking, communication, creativity, language skills and so on are usually not taught within the formal setting of the school system, yet these are really valued during interviews and in workplace dynamics.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 35px; padding-right: 35px;\"><em>Lack of Entrepreneurship foundations in the educational system <\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 35px; padding-right: 35px;\">It is very likely that most African educational systems perpetuate job seekers rather than job creators, that is, there is minimal encouragement of entrepreneurial development among youth and graduates.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creative Education Vs Traditional Education SOMOL is a conceptual offshoot of \u2018\u2019Creative Education &#8211; DDV: SEE \u2013 Discover, Develop, Valorize Self-Employing Employers\u2019\u2019, published in 2018 by OutSkirts Press, US, by Dr. Ilongo Fritz Ngale.
