ABSTRACT
Ecology is nothing less than the study of organisational reciprocity because every form of life is an organisation in some phase of development or decay, in constant interchange with its internal and external environment. An organisation is an inter-relationship of elements, parts or units comprising a system of behaviour. Any programme of education must be directed towards overcoming the sense of separation between human and nonhuman life. As is the case in any organisation when destructive forces emerge - inorganic, organic or extra organic - there is usually something wrong with its information system. Educational opportunity is not a right, nor a privilege, but a matter of natural necessity. The overall dynamic of human evolution has given rise to - as well as resulting from - a hierarchy of stages of consciousness that are potentially available to each person. There is no necessary connection between teaching and learning and the optimum development of our personal, local, national and planetary life.
