The participants of the Second International Symposium on Accelerative Learning propose that in each country of the world a symposium be held to consider the education of its people and to make recommendations on the improvement of educational opportunities for every human being. Among the highest priorities of any country should be the education of each human being, beginning with parents and other caretakers as first teachers, helping them to learn ways to lay the foundations of intelligence from pre-birth on. Teachers and other s responsible for the development of human capacities must have available the most current, well-researched information on teaching and learning, taking into consideration the respect for the individual and cultural differences. A worldwide databank should be developed to facilitate the sharing of this information, translated on request into any language. Educational systems utilizing this information must help each individual to learn how to learn and how to think analytically a nd creatively in order to help each country solve the complex problems of our time, not only locally but globally.
World peace depends on the fullest development of each human being in mind, body, and spirit.
In order that education may become a real process throughout life, information resulting from research and existing technology must be made accessible to every human being through education at home, at school, and in adult education, emphasizing processes of learning to learn, critical and creative thinking and problem-solving. All countries in the world should be encouraged to participate in a continuous, open project to exchange information on research and technology, related to the development of human capacities. Every government should be alerted to the danger of imposing methods of education without consulting the community involved. Students should have the opportunity to pursue their interests with adequate guidance to develop their capacities. Education should respect individual differences and encourage social interaction.
