Children must be equipped early in life with skills necessary to live in a diverse world, the President of the Aga Khan University Firoz Rasul has said.
Mr Rasul noted it is important to take advantage of the early stages of a child’s development to instil ideas of pluralism and navigating one’s way in a culture that is becoming increasingly diverse.
He was speaking on Thursday during the official launch of the Aga Khan University’s Institute for Human Development in Nairobi.
“His Highness the Aga Khan, founder of the Aga Khan Development Network, has always emphasised the importance of capturing children’s minds from their earliest days of existence. This is the time to nurture and provide them with the best environment so that they have more chances in life,” he said.
The institute will focus on building human capacity and drive innovation, particularly among those in resource-poor regions of the world.
