“We always treat problems as
a good thing here at Lumiar. Problems require solutions,
and it’s in finding the solutions that the learning
happens… We teach our students
that there’s no such thing as failure. We encourage them to think: Well, that
didn’t work. So why didn’t it work? Now let’s try again..”
Joanna GayottoHeadmistress, Lumiar school,
São Paolo
“We have good skills in entrepreneurship
(in Burkina Faso) because we have to. Life
is hard. School eliminates these skills. It
is our job (at 2iE) to help students come back to their talent, to
dust off those skills.”
Paul GiniesDirector General, 2iE, Burkina Faso
