Education deals with the essence of what it means to be human. No undertaking is more valuable, more sacred.
Daisaku Ikeda
Knowledge in the past was like gold: it gave you power, influence and status.
Now it's like milk: if you don't use it, share it and refresh it often it will become out of date very quickly.

The aim of education is not to transfer knowledge; it is to guide the learning process, to equip the learner with the methods of research. It is not the piecemeal merchandising of information; it is to enable the acquisition of the methods for learning on one’s own; it is the provision of keys to unlock the vault of knowledge.
Rather than encouraging students to appropriate the intellectual treasures uncovered by others, we should enable them to undertake on their own the process of discoveryand invention.
