Four Pillars of Education
June 8, 2011
I have come to understand our work in early childhood education and our everyday life with children as a political act. We are building democracy from the ground up.

Learning to know: "...concerned less with the acquisition of structured knowledge than with the mastery of learning tools. It may be regarded as both a means and an end of human existence."
Learning to do: "...how do we adapt education so that it can equip people to do the types of work needed in the future?"
Learning to live together: "...education should adopt two complementary approaches. From early childhood, it should focus on the discovery of other people in the first stage of education. In the second stage of education and in lifelong education, it should encourage involvement in common projects."
Learning to be: "...All people should receive in their childhood and youth an education that equips them to develop their own independent, critical way of thinking and judgment so that they can make up their own minds on the best courses of action in the different circumstances in their lives."

The Jacques Delors report represents the Education vision for this XXI century, his four pillars are the solid foundation of the role of education. It is especially important that all around the world more emphasis have been put in the first two pillars, learning to know and learning to do, however the LEARNING TO BE AND LEARNING TO LIVE TOGETHER is of great contribution to humankind and directly supports the vital role of Early years of Life and the role of all devoted Early Childhood Practitioners.
Seeds for cooperation, respect, empathy, inclusion are strongly nurture in the early years of life and Delors four pillars has been such a contribution to a more comprehensive view of Human beings and Education systems.
