PILLAR 4: LEARNING TO BE

PILLAR 5: LEARNING TO LEARN
The magnet that pulls the other aspects of learning together and the cement that binds them. Intellectual curiosity, techniques of understanding, the ability to synthesise new knowledge from what is already known. The learner as a creator of knowledge rather than as a tabula rasa or an empty vessel to be filled. The ability to learn independently. The autonomous learner with enhanced ability and pre-disposition to continue to learn throughout his or her life.
