About this ebook
Global Education Reform presents an opportunity to reorganize, transform, and recapture misplaced human potential. The book advocates a new culture of the education process through the establishment of Student Concerned Review Councils (SCRCs) as a vehicle for global education reform in college and university communities. The proposed SCRC must be viewed as an active search engine for a global conduit to encourage chancellors, vice chancellors, presidents, professors, and ministers of education to be fully integrated in the SCRC process. The book notes that effective design and implementation of Information Technology Resource Service Centers (ITRSCs) on college and university campuses will definitely help students to reconnect with their lost potential, elevate their self-confidence, improve their inner satisfaction, develop their personal life and professional career, and restore dignity to the education community. The implementation of Information Technology Resource Service Centers (ITRSC), Programming Resource Technology Center (PTRC), Open Access Technology Resource Center (OATRC), Professional Development Technology Center (PDTC), Professional Development Technology Center (PDTC), Academic Faculty Resource Technology Center (AFRTC), Academic Research Technology Center (ARTC), Learning Resource Technology Center (LRTC), and Certification Resource Technology Center (CRTC) will enhance the understanding, importance, and advantages of information technology in the education process.
The author sees the decay of the Nigerian educational system as a regrettable oversight and a deterrent to global education reform and the preparation, nurturing and education of future education leaders of the unified free world. The author asserts that Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sir Tafawa Balewa, General Aguiyi Ironsi, General Yakubu Gowon, Chief Obafemi Owolowo, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Brigadier Udoakaha Esuene, and Governor Owelle Okorocha were patriotic, enduring, and outstanding education advocates for all citizens in Nigeria. A lifelong education is an instructive and enlightening route to wisdom, intellectual growth, and maturity; therefore, it is the authors assertion that combined and collaborative efforts are needed, as well as support from ministers of education and other politicians who are willing to allocate adequate financial resources that will enable privileged elites; chancellors, vice chancellors, presidents, professors to prepare future leaders of the education system in their formative years to establish an attitude of persistence, and self-confidence to cope with the demanding workforce and professional challenges of todays information technology society. The author submits that effective and efficient use of information technology as valuable data and voice transmission tools, e-mail, cell phones, Internet access as education instruction delivery apparatus, and communication system for global language barriers will definitely create a singular and mutually sovereign system for the successful development of global education reform.

PREFACE
Global education reform represents a unified process of reorganizing resources, transforming performance, and recapturing misplaced human potential. Education is the path to acquiring intelligence and a suitable standard of living, attaining lifelong expertise, and achieving good health and proper mental, financial, economic, and social development. Nothing in life is too big or too small, unless by comparison. Everyone must be willing to crawl before walking, in order to arrive at the educational promised land. Beyond every reasonable doubt, education contributes immensely to the development of a free society. Subject to constant and drastic changes, which sometimes threaten human existence and survival, lasting global education reform is the life-wire and denizen of human mission-driven potential. The local, state, and federal departments of education must be willing to make a U-turn and establish collaborative partnerships with higher education administrators to proffer a sense of ownership and active academic mentorship for the current and future students.
The culture of lifelong education begins from nativity to maturity and in accord with the leadership, guidance, and support of the parents, priests, ministers, traditional rulers, head masters, principals, vice chancellors, and professors. The conventional wisdom supports the premise that unified global education reform must do more than just expose professors to professional technology development training. The world community cannot afford stable academic settings without information about technology and the committed representation of parents, local community members, and professors. I do not expect anybody to give away what they do not possess; therefore, parents, community representatives, vice chancellors, college presidents, and professors must be empowered with a wide range of professional development preparation in the use of information technology to mentor and unleash the infinite potential in students.
The higher education enterprise can no longer afford to operate independently. Adequate financial resources must be allocated to nurture and prepare future graduates for their responsibilities as promising leaders of the world’s education systems. The author recommends a new approach through the establishment of a Student Concerned Review Council (SCRC), a vehicle for educational reform on college and university campuses. SCRCs must be viewed as active added value for global education reform. Chancellors and vice chancellors; presidents; professors; local, state, and federal ministers of education; and students must be fully integrated into the SCRC process. The aim of this book is to provide guidelines for college and university chancellors, vice chancellors, presidents, professors, and students to function collectively as cohesive members of the process of global education reform with emphasis on addressing prejudice, discrimination, and language barriers. The book is intended for college and university chief executives, professors, allied instructional groups, libraries, and the information technology community. In order to sustainably reform the education system, the author suggests that quarterly meetings of the SCRC should include representatives from Student Government Associations (SGAs), deans of academic affairs, deans of student affairs, directors of fiscal affairs, and officials in charge of institutional effectiveness, institution advancement, physical plant, library, administrative and academic computing technology, registrar, financial aid, bookstore, food service, career placement, and dormitories. This book is directed at readers who are looking forward to develop satisfactory long-term solutions that add value to all facets of the global education reform process.
The primary responsibility of higher education administrators, chancellors, vice chancellors, presidents, professors, and allied instructional teams is to accept, acknowledge, recognize, and prepare large segments of the world community who promise to emerge as enlightened and highly educated leaders of the unified free world. The nurturing environment of the education community must be willing to mentor these new leaders; therefore, higher education administrators are obliged to implement substantial codes of conduct that will serve as barriers against negative actions and behaviors on college and university campuses. This book notes that everyone must be fully integrated into the strategic process of global education reform; therefore, it is a regrettable mistake to downplay the SCRC’s importance of the campus-wide efforts to address student unrest and disruptive behaviors.
The democratic convention supports the premises that one-on-one remediation is an enduring corridor for self-discovery and self-integrity. Self-discovery, self-invention, and self-integrity, according to the author (2011), are lasting ingredients of education; they are seldom forgotten and can be retained in memory at a higher rate. This book notes that an effective implementation of Information Technology Resource Service Centers (ITRSCs) on college and university campuses will definitely help individuals to reconnect with their misplaced potential and can lead to the elevation of self-confidence, inner satisfaction, and personal and professional development, as well as the restoration of dignity to the education community. ITRSCs will include a Programming Resource Technology Center (PTRC) to prepare and train undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students in programming languages; an Open-Access Technology Resource Center (OATRC) to accommodate undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students, parents, and members of the community; a Professional Development Technology Center (PDTC) to train academic and administrative staff members on how to apply technology to their professional duties; an Academic Faculty Resource Technology Center (AFRTC) to help faculty members use technology to manage and deliver instructional material in specialized subject areas, such as accounting, biology, psychology, pharmacy, and chemistry; an Academic Research Technology Center (ARTC) to create suitable technology resources and
