Fostering the Identity and Mission of Christian Education in Africa
Ogunji, James A.
Journal of Research on Christian Education, v21 n1 p46-61 2012
This study presents a model that can help a Christian University or school foster its identity and mission. The model is built on the principle that the integration of faith and learning (IFL) in all aspects of school life will keep a Christian university or school focused on its identity and mission through a deliberate and coherent action of any university leadership in the areas of administration, teaching and instruction, co-curricular activities, spiritual development, community outreach, and assessment, among others. The overriding basis for the model is to counter the trend of secularism, a phenomenon that is threatening the mission of Christian education. (Contains 1 figure.)
