including, in particular, its impact on lives, livelihoods, the provision of 

humanitarian assistance, once more generally, an environment which

should be safe and conducive to peace building, reconstruction and

development.

CHAPTER IV

MJAT SEBA1 

I

The public education of Afrikans the world over faces a severe crisis. This is acrisis that threatens the very future of Afrikans by continuing to perpetuate thenegatives of the present on an alarming scale and with dire consequences. One

need only consider Afrikan experiences in the American school system pre and post"integration", the experiences of newly arrived Afrikan immigrants such as theSomali in the Minnesota school system, Afrikan immigrant experiences throughoutEurope, and Ethiopian Falasha or Beta Israel experiences in Israeli schools to see

the proof. Presently Afrikan education is designed to continue the marginality of Afrikan life by developing consumers, and workers for an alien system of living.Afrikan life is marginal in relation to the European cultural, political, social andeconomic orientation of the global community. This marginality is further enhancedwith wide spread epidemics of homelessness, the proliferation of HIV/AIDs , famine,starvation, malnutrition, malabsorptive hunger, internecine communal warfare,white supremacy, media mis-representation, and poor Diaspora continentalcommunication and cooperation. The educational process that Afrikans are facedwith is of European origins and it is creating a permanent underclass of theimpoverished. Furthermore, this system of education is designed to perpetuate the

existence of this underclass, a village, slum and ghetto dwelling inner city mass of 

what has been called the truly disadvantaged2.

The present education of Afrikans has failed to solve the problems created bythe transformations in Afrikan life, which were brought about by pre-Europeannational wars, colonialism, enslavement, and acceptance of the European economic

systems3 unchanged and with disregard for Afrikan relevance. With respect toAmerica the present educational system has failed to adequately consider thegenerational effects of war, captivity, enslavement, Jim Crow, Civil Rights and BlackPower and then to systematically and with seriousness of intent incorporatesubstantial and significant changes. Just as schools perpetuate the social orderthrough the transmission of knowledge across generations, so do other socialinstitutions such as the family, which for the Afrikan is a slave/colonial institution.This is undoubtedly partially due to the failure to view properly ancestral successes.Throughout Afrikan, history there has been a sound, inerrant association betweenAfrikan-centered educational systems and Afrikan cultural, social, political, andeconomic progress4. It is from this tried and true, rational5, empirical basis that an

Afrikan MJAT SEBA will be developed.

The Mjat Seba will be defined as a system designed to aid in the reconstruction andreclamation of the knowledge and experiences of one’ s High Cultural inheritance6.

This will be accomplished under the supervision of the community. Emphasis willbe on the nature, needs and interests of the learner coupled with the life relevancewith regards to societal demands and problems.

1. Afrikan Conflict Resolution: Strategic Management and Mitigation

2. Afrikan Economic Policy and Institutions: Delinking, Integration, and

Continental/Diaspora Development

3. Afrikan Continental & Diaspora Education: System Design Instead of 

System Improvement [System Design- A creative process that questions the

assumptions on which old forms have been built. It requires a completely new

outlook and approach in order to produce innovative solutions. The perspective

grows out of the Systems Paradigm. It is extrospective- its proceeds from an

understanding of the super-ordinate system outward; System Improvement- based

on introspection- start inward from the system to its elements and reason that the

solution lies within its boundaries. This offers limited choices and looks for causes of 

malfunctions within system boundaries. Tends to justify systems as ends in

themselves without considering that a system exists only to satisfy the

requirements of larger systems in which it is itself included]
