What of Basic Learning Needs?

The outstanding achievements of Afrikan souls throughout the ages are readily gleaned even from a cursory glance of their abundantly endowed continuum. Yet, there was always a rooted base from which exceptional life expression emerged. The highly civilised norm of this people naturally has its foundation of cultural fabric and the outwardly expressed activities of necessity that cultured life brings. One vital activity is that of learning. Here, for the norm of grand civilisation to flourish a level learnedness had to prevail amongst this pioneering people of soul. Foundationally, a basic knowingness of themselves and their experiences allowed their civilisations of pinnacle order to be built to fullest fruition. Though never the limit, basic learning was key.

According to a contemporary mainstream source the word basic is:

“forming an essential foundation or starting point; fundamental”.

As applied specifically to learning needs, basic is given the following description in another mainstream contemporary source:

“Basic learning needs refer to the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary for people to survive, to improve the quality of their lives, and to continue learning”.

What then of the basic learning needs for Afrikan souls in the now? Certainly, in a state of interruption and disruption sheer survival may be a condition said to be relevant to Afrikan life.  In this, basic Afrikan learning needs are crucial. Yet, naturally this is a people that live in abundance beyond mere survival thus basic learning needs surely ought to hold substance reflective of this people’s natural norm and optimal beingness. Thus, basic Afrikan learning needs are not only crucial but surely ought to hold the particular substance and qualities relevant to this people’s restoration, security and ascension.

Despite the efforts of others that mean the Afrikan ill in the pushing and peddling of miseducation. Only Afrikan souls can deliver unto themselves learning of themselves for rightful order of their betterment. Practically, time set aside to engage in self-learning is time well spent at whatever level circumstance best allows. Indeed, from whatever station or status a soul holds efforts can be made to regain a basic level of self-knowingness for basic learning needs to be catered for in self-determined fashion. Survival in disruptiveness cannot be the ultimate goal for this primary and spirit people of creation. These are the great pioneers and builders of pinnacle civilisation and must surely know this of themselves. At the same time knowingness to safeguard the self from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like is also of great value.

With his profound depth of instructive wisdom the magnificent hero Marcus Garvey cautions thus:

“Never fail to impress upon the [Afrikan] that he is never thoroughly educated until he has imbibed racial education”.

Will Afrikan souls assume the natural duty and responsibility they hold for themselves and meet their basic learning needs? Surely the Afrikan must.
