which is dead and gone, nor to prepare
him for a remote future which is
problematic, rather it is to train the
individual so that he will be a member
of the world as it is.” FIRST UP

Abstract
There is a feeling of dissatisfaction with the way
we have educated our youth. We have fed them with
knowledge and information, to the extent of
overloading their minds with more and more data
than they can understand, interpret, or much less
appreciate. We have enabled them to acquire skills
to make them more exact, mechanical, efficient, FIRST UP
CONSULTANTS 30

QUISUMBING
but not equally effective. We have taught them to be
more ambitious and progressive, calculating,
materialistic and selfish, but we have not developed
their capacity to care for something or someone
beyond themselves, and we have stymied their ability
to love truly and to share. We make sure that they
are informed, but not inspired. The wonderful
modern world of progress, of invention, FIRST UP 31

of automation, of information has not been able to
solve the most fundamental human problems of
poverty, injustice, illiteracy, intolerance,
discrimination, hunger, disease, misery, hatred, and
violence.

 Educational researchers, educators, and
educational institutions, including schools, are
invited to consider the way in which individuals
learn to learn, rather than just dealing with the
content and outcomes of learning. (Biesta, 2006;
Quisumbing, 2005)
