Filmaker Titi Jeje Calls For Inclusion of Filmmaking and Content Creation in Secondary School Curriculum

In a groundbreaking statement, Chairman of the Tampan Guild of Directors, Titi Jeje, emphasizes the imperative need for governments to introduce Filmmaking and Content Creation into the secondary school curriculum. Jeje asserts that such an addition will not only foster early familiarity with creative skills but will also harness the innate creativity of young minds.

According to Jeje, “Catching them young is key in nurturing the next generation of storytellers and content creators. By integrating Filmmaking and Content Creation into the education system, we empower students to explore their creative potential from an early age.”

This call to action comes as the entertainment industry undergoes unprecedented growth, with digital content creation playing a pivotal role. He contends that by providing structured education in these fields during secondary school, students will be better equipped to contribute meaningfully to the ever-evolving landscape of filmmaking and digital media.

Industry experts support this initiative, citing the importance of adapting educational curricula to align with the changing demands of the workforce. As governments grapple with the need for a more dynamic and relevant education system, the inclusion of Filmmaking and Content Creation emerges as a forward-thinking solution to prepare students for the creative economy of the future.

His advocacy marks a significant step toward recognizing the potential of young talents and ensuring that educational systems actively nurture and harness the creative energies of the youth. The guild of directors hopes that governments will heed this call, ushering in a new era of education that not only imparts knowledge but also cultivates the artistic prowess of the upcoming generation.
