"Most people believe that it is education that will save us. But this
bland, sweeping, and unexamined assertion reduces us into continuing to
uncritically support and tinker with the current story of schooling. It
is education that will save us, but not any kind of education -- only
education of a certain kind: only education that is generative and
life-affirming, that invites, engages, and integrates the fullness of
our children’s capacities and ways of knowing, and that nurtures the
creation of integral minds committed to the creation of a truly just and
wise global civilization. Only education that develops our capacity to
become more fully human is truly worthy of the human spirit. Only
education that invites deep learning and reconnects us to life will
light and sustain the fire within."
- Stephanie Pace Marshall (international education transformer)
