“... while education is an ongoing process of improving knowledge and skills, it is also-perhaps primarily-an exceptional means of bringing about personal development and building relationships among individuals, groups, and nations.”
-Jacques Delors, Chairman of the International Commission of Education for the Twenty-First Century
