School buildings alone cannot improve human capital if they are not brought to life through learning, even new ideas and technologies become redundant if they do not reach targeted populations. Since people acquire knowledge in different contexts, through diverse learning styles and multiple intelligences, the GOSESO pedagogy employs various learning approaches such as cooperative, service-learning as well as project-based, peer-assisted, and cross-age learning to accommodate students' differing educational needs. |
Our curriculum promotes independent thought, critical thinking, and debate through discussion. With student-centered, hands-on education, GOSESO students are not only able to set and accomplish goals for themselves but also are given the knowledge and ability to find solutions and create change within their communities. An ultimate goal of GOSESO is to infuse a curriculum committed to environmental sustainability and cultural vitality in other African schools.
GOSESO's "School without Walls" philosophy provides education for the public on the complex environmental and social issues facing communities and leads to more support for conservation while also building vibrant human societies. The project employs demonstration and outreach sites illustrating relevant research technologies and improved natural resource management practices.
A large proportion of our faculty and students are involved in extension and village outreach. We believe that training poor people in rural savings, credit, sustainable agriculture, and skills on small business creation and management can eventually yield income and sustenance to replace income that is currently derived from charcoal and brick making, logging, poaching, and other forms of resource over-exploitation.
