ABSTRACT

We don’t need no education. (Pink Floyd, ‘Another Brick in the Wall-Part 2’,

from the CBS album, The Wall, 1979)

Learning processes are lagging appallingly behind and are leaving both individuals and societies unprepared to meet the challenge posed by global issues. This failure of learning means that human preparedness remains underdeveloped on a global scale. Learning is in this sense far more than just another global problem: its failure represents, in a fundamental way, the issue of issues.
