‘Education is no longer about teaching children something but about helping them develop a reliable compass, and the tools to navigate with confidence through this world that is increasingly complex … ambiguous. Success in education today is about building curiosity, opening minds. It’s about compassion, opening hearts. And it’s about courage, being able to mobilise our cognitive, social and emotional resources to do something’. (Schleicher, A)
