25. Defining 21st Century Skills
The central task of education is to implant a will and
a facility for learning; it should produce not learned
but learning people. The truly human society is a
learning society, where grandparents, parents, and
children are students together.
In a time of drastic change it is the learners who
inherit the future. The learned usually find
themselves equipped to live in a world that no
longer exists.
- Eric Hoffer
Reflections on the Human Condition, aph. 32 (1973)

27. “This is a story about the big public
conversation the nation is not having
about education… whether an entire
generation of kids will fail to make the
grade in the global economy because
they can’t think their way through
abstract problems, work in teams,
distinguish good formation from bad, or
speak a language other than English.”
