35. “The current search for new educational
funnels must be reversed into the search
for their institutional inverse:
educational webs which heighten the
opportunity for each one to transform
each moment of his living into one of
learning, sharing and caring.”
36. “A good education system should have
three purposes: it should provide all who
want to learn with access to available
resources at any time in their lives;
empower all who want to share what
they know to find those who want to
learn it from them; and finally furnish
all who want to present an issue to the
public with the opportunity to make their
challenge known.”
