Participants should encourage questioning and personal interpretations and not stress one right answer to every problem. Education is a matter of responsibility. We are all teachers and learners and therefore should take primary responsibility for our own learning. Education is a matter of discipline. We must all have the discipline to learn the skills and attain the knowledge necessary for us to be a contributing member of our community.
Education is a matter of curiosity.
In order to advance our community, our culture, our world, we must want to explore others ideas and discover new information. We have entered the knowledge age where companies and organizations are seeking people who have different skill sets than previous generations. Computer literacy and the ability to work with informational systems are requirements for an ever increasing number of jobs. Therefore our educational system needs to evolve to meet these new challenges.
