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.
64
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.
