Kapuscinski Development Lecture 2016 - Education: fundamental to a country’s future - Pretoria, 31 May 2016

Education: Fundamental to a country’s future ‘The next century is already being built daily in today’s classrooms. However, it is increasingly obvious that family, government, the media and civil society must be included in the transmission of cultural heritage and key values. To address current and future challenges to peace, prosperity, public health, and the environment, especially in developing countries, education systems can no longer use traditional schooling patterns. The learning environment has to go beyond the classroom and must mobilise key actors from other sectors. We have to gradually take down the classroom walls. This will require the reengineering of curricula, learnings, and financings.’ — Nesmy Manigat.
