SchChat - School | University of Notre Dame du Kasai

Descriptions

The UKA is an institution of higher education and scientific research. Its purposes are defined by the statutes, which take into account both the mission assigned to Catholic Universities by the Universal Church (Cfr. Cadre Ecclesiae) and the particular needs of the country and the place of its establishment. Work of the Church, it contributes to the growth of the Christian faith by also taking into account the general human formation of its students and by accompanying their scientific formation with a Christian formation adapted to their level. The materialization of this initiative by the bishops of the Provincial Episcopal Assembly of Kananga was intended as a response to the demand and the legitimate aspiration of the population in Kasai land. In the light of these principles, the mission of the University of Notre-Dame turns out to be: - The formation of a new type of man and woman intellectually and morally balanced, always with the multiple needs of Kasayi, and of the country and driven by a constant concern for improving the standard of living of the population; - Promotion of research. The sciences and techniques to be taught at Notre-Dame du Kasayi University do not in themselves have their finality, because they are intended to be transformed into effective practices for the service of the population. The practice and its implications therefore have a prominent place in the training of students at the University of Notre-Dame du Kasayi; - An effort of inculturation and endogenization, i.e. in the universal local culture by vocation, the University of Notre-Dame du Kasayi must however take on local colors. Hence the need to constantly revitalize oneself through contact with the values of one's environment. - The conquest of excellence: the University of Notre-Dame du Kasayi opts for excellence in the accomplishment of its mission. Indeed, young and old alike thirsty for knowledge turn to her for their intellectual, human and integral training. It is about this youth in particular who is eager to receive a quality education, solid, and without complacency, sheltered from the whims and deplorable defects which unfortunately tarnish the brand image of Congolese Higher and University Education. . Kasayi University wants to combat these shortcomings. Its ideal, in fact, is the culture of excellence, of what should be, of know-how, with rigor, justice and sincere love for the country and the Church. A noble challenge that is difficult to reach, but rather on the help of the Most High and the intercession of his Mother, Our Lady of Kasayi, the patron saint of the University. Through this highly careful training and the permanent search for excellence, the University of Notre-Dame du Kasayi nourishes the determination to act positively on the history of Kasayi and the country by providing them with intellectually capable, morally tested and deeply marked by the Christian ideal.
