Seven complex lessons in education for the future

Abstract

This publication examines seven fundamental educational problems which require appropriate responses from all societies and cultures. It is hoped that the text will inspire debate about the essentials of education, and will fuel further discussion on the need for education as a driving force in the future. The author calls for redesign and reform of educational policies and systems, corresponding to the need for international transformation and preparation for a sustainable future. The publication is structured such that the chapters represent each of the seven lessons: Detecting error and illusion; Principles of pertinent knowledge; Teaching the human condition; Earth identity; Confronting uncertainties; Understanding each other; Ethics for the human genre.
