The four pillars of learning
Learning to know: to provide the cognitive tools required to better
comprehend the world and its complexities, and to provide anappropriate and adequate foundation for future learning.
Learning to do: to provide the skills that would enable individuals toeffectively participate in the global economy and society.
Learning to be: to provide self analytical and social skills to enable
individuals to develop to their fullest potential psycho-socially,affectively as well as physically, for a all-round ‘complete person’.
Learning to live together: to expose individuals to the values implicit
within human rights, democratic principles, intercultural
