We believe that education should and must be holistic. Hence, our educational philosophy is to develop individual students as well as helping them acquire the necessary skills needed to become productive and self-reliant citizens. As a consequence, we focus on both the process (skill acquisition) and the individual (personal development). Very often, in the context of Africa, once they graduate from college, students expect governments to offer them a job. Our philosophy is that students should be self-reliant and become the captain of their own destiny. They must set the path of their own lives. As such, Seeka University is rethinking and redesigning education in Ivory Coast. We expect our students to ‘dream big and be the captain of their own destiny.’
Our pedagogy is learning by doing and includes project-based learning, problem-based learning, and blended learning, which implies the simultaneous integration of digital platforms and physical classroom presence to foster learning.
The course, Civic Engagement and Development Corps, requires an immersion in rural communities. Students will spend a summer in a rural community or disadvantage community to provide technological solutions to social and community problems. They will also be involved in literacy programs and teaching the basics of computer and information sciences to community members. Students will be required to write a 10-page report describing their activities and their impact on the community.
Students will be required to create a technological instrument or apply an existing one to solve a real-life problem.
