It is the learners who inherit the future

Posted July 25, 2011

The central task of education is to implant a will and a facility for

learning; it should produce not learned but learning people. The truly human society is a learning society, where grandparents, parents, and children are students together.

In a time of drastic change it is the learners who

inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.
