Global Education Reform: The Universe Is Governed by a Sequence of Realms; Hence, Global Education Reform Is a Dignified Path to Peace and Unit by Joseph O Esin (Paperback / softback, 2013)
Global Education Reform presents an opportunity to reorganize, transform, and recapture misplaced human potential. The book advocates a new culture of the education process through the establishment of Student Concerned Review Councils (SCRCs) as a vehicle for global education reform in college and university communities. The proposed SCRC must be viewed as an active search engine for a global conduit to encourage chancellors, vice chancellors, presidents, professors, and ministers of education to be fully integrated in the SCRC process. The book tes that effective design and implementation of Information Techlogy Resource Service Centers (ITRSCs) on college and university campuses will definitely help students to reconnect with their lost potential, elevate their self-confidence, improve their inner satisfaction, develop their personal life and professional career, and restore dignity to the education community. The implementation of Information Techlogy Resource Service Centers (ITRSC), Programming Resource Techlogy Center (PTRC), Open Access Techlogy Resource Center (OATRC), Professional Development Techlogy Center (PDTC), Professional Development Techlogy Center (PDTC), Academic Faculty Resource Techlogy Center (AFRTC), Academic Research Techlogy Center (ARTC), Learning Resource Techlogy Center (LRTC), and Certification Resource Techlogy Center (CRTC) will enhance the understanding, importance, and advantages of information techlogy in the education process. The author sees the decay of the Nigerian educational system as a regrettable oversight and a deterrent to global education reform and the preparation, nurturing and education of future education leaders of the unified free world. The author asserts that Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sir Tafawa Balewa, General Aguiyi Ironsi, General Yakubu Gowon, Chief Obafemi Owolowo, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Brigadier Udoakaha Esuene, and Goverr Owelle Okorocha were patriotic, enduring, and outstanding education advocates for all citizens in Nigeria. A lifelong education is an instructive and enlightening route to wisdom, intellectual growth, and maturity; therefore, it is the author's assertion that combined and collaborative efforts are needed, as well as support from ministers of education and other politicians who are willing to allocate adequate financial resources that will enable privileged elites; chancellors, vice chancellors, presidents, professors to prepare future leaders of the education system in their formative years to establish an attitude of persistence, and self-confidence to cope with the demanding workforce and professional challenges of today's information techlogy society. The author submits that effective and efficient use of information techlogy as valuable data and voice transmission tools, e-mail, cell phones, Internet access as education instruction delivery apparatus, and communication system for global language barriers will definitely create a singular and mutually sovereign system for the successful development of global education reform.
