At independence, most African states expressed the desire to develop educational systems geared towards development especially industrial development. Almost more than half a century has elapsed and the existing educational systems are yet to respond to the initial development goals at the outset of independence. Poverty is prevalent in most African countries with the rate of human and economic development very low. Education has remained mostly theoretical and almost void of orientation and purpose. This book Principles for Purpose-driven Learning with focus on intrinsic-value orientation for creative and productive life, is a timely clarion call to awaken policy makers throughout Africa and the world that no superficial accumulation of purposeless knowledge will suffice to remove the suspicions and fears that divide men or the poverty and ignorance that imprison so many of them. Above all, this book is a must read for everyone struggling to locate a life goal. I recommend it to all secondary, high school, university students and people grappling with the choice of what to study or do in life. It will help them match their passion with right courses and specialisations.
