“Sir William Arthur Lewis
“We really need a rethinking of education and a redesigning of our system, so it prepares our children for the future with the skills that are needed for today and tomorrow. “There are schools that are teaching in the old fashioned way which was of benefit in the beginnings of the 1900s – but the needs are not the same and we need something fit for the 21st century.”
Marjo Kyllonen, Helsinki’s education manager

“The essence of knowledge is, having it, to apply it;
not having it, to confess your ignorance.”

“The key to good decision making is not
knowledge. It is understanding. We are
swimming in the former. We are desperately lacking in the
latter.” - Malcolm Gladwell,
