Learning to be
Learning to be is founded on the fundamental principle
that education needs to contribute to the all-round
development of each individual
It is about the broadening of care for each aspect of the
personality
It deals with the freedom of thought, feeling and
imagination that we need to act more independently, with
more insight, more critically, and more responsibly.
The end of education is
to discover and open
the talents which are hidden
like a treasure within every person
