In our ever growing industrialised and technological society, there is the urgent need to generate a learning system that will not just give knowledge, but also the necessary skills to individuals to develop the right values and attitudes.

Victory Creative Arts and Design for JHS is one of the books in the series of three, developed to equip learners in High Schools with basic knowledge in design and knowledge in order to prepare them to choose and pursue career related courses that will fit them in modern society- to become self reliant and also provide the needed work force for our growing economy.

With its systematic approach to teaching and learning , with carefully selected diagrams and illustrations , the book seeks to develop individual talents based on the learning activities- music, dance, drama, drawing, modelling, casting, weaving, etc.- and offers learners the opportunity to work as individuals or in groups without discrimination or comparison.

Creative Arts and Design education is to guide the learner to acquire 21st century skills of communication and collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving, personal development and leadership,  cultural identity and global citizenship, creativity and innovation, digital literacy, financial literacy, open-mindedness, etc., on one hand , and instil the nation’s core values of honesty, integrity, cooperation, perseverance and grit, teamwork, respect for others and responsible citizenry, on the other.

That is what this book has been structured for, with the learner being the central focus
