The test of a successful education system is not the amount of knowledge that pupils take away from school, but their appetite to know and their capacity to learn.
Sir Richard Livingstone 1941

All skills will become obsolete except one, ‘the skill of being able to make the right response to situations that are outside the scope of what you were taught in school. We need to produce people who know how to act when they are faced with situations for which they were not specifically prepared.’
Seymour Papert 1998

• ‘The more students are supported as autonomous learners, the higher their school performance’
