INTRODUCTION 

The fast evolution of today’s societies and, more specifically, of labor markets requires new skills from individuals. Hence, according to a report published by UNESCO in 1996, the aim of EDUCATION can be summarized as follows:

  • Learning to KNOW,
  • Learning to DO ,
  • Learning to LIVE TOGETHER,
  • Learning to BE.

Learning to know, by combining a sufficiently broad general knowledge with the opportunity to work in depth on a small number of subjects.

Learning to do, in order to acquire not only occupational skills, but also the competence to deal with many situations and to work in teams.

Learning to live together, by developing an understanding of other people and an appreciation of interdependence in a sprit of respect for the values of pluralism, mutual understanding and peace.

Learning to be, so as better to be developed mentally, physiologically, and psychologically or as a sum of these, to develop one’s personality and be able to act with ever-greater autonomy, judgment and learning responsibility (including, memory reasoning, and communications skills.)

At the CASACANADA website, these pages are dedicated to explore the avenues to achieve these goals for our children.
