Jenga Initiative
Jenga Initiative is a project that equips students with skills necessary for their personal, academic and community growth. This is done through Character Education, which is the wider personal development of a child beyond the academic education they receive in school. Jenga Initiative aims to instill in students a number of core ethical values such as respect, justice, civic virtue, resilience, honesty, motivation, humility, respect, citizenship and responsibility for self and others; all of which will help them in their adult lives.
Now Is the Time to Act
Upon such core values, we form the attitudes and actions that are the hallmark of safe, healthy and informed communities that serve as the foundation of our society. Our focus area that students in this project are exposed to are as follows:
• International Understanding
• Environmental Protection
• Adventure
• Leadership skills
• Service above self
Why is Character Education Important?
Character education is important for many reasons. First and foremost, educating a child about character development is essential to improve their emotional well-being. Character education also provides learners (young and old) with the best chance to be a successful adult, by equipping them with the skills to become a happy and productive member of society.
Character Education importance is lengthy; it helps people make conscious decisions about their thoughts, actions and deeds in a way that reflects ethical values, benefiting that person and those with whom they engage. Character education prepares students to “Live well in a world worth living in” Furthermore, character education can help children become more successful academically.
