We should not ask what does a person need to know or be able to do, in order to fit into the existing social order. Instead we should ask what lives in each human being and what can be developed in him or her. Only then will it be possible to direct the new qualities of each emerging generation into society. The society will become what the young people as whole beings make out of the existing social conditions.
The new generation should not just be made to be what the present society wants it to become.
-Rudolph Steiner
A good society is one, when in the mirror of each human being, the reflection of the whole community is found. Children’s right to a good education is not only a social ideal but a social necessity as well.
Education should never work against a person’s destiny but should achieve the full development of his own pre-disposition.
