Abstract
The purpose of teaching and schools is in the midst of change. In the past, transmission of knowledge was of utmost importance. Knowledge meant power and opportunity. We observe that “…new realities demand people with different competencies than those … in the agrarian and industrial era. Multi-literate, creative and innovative people are now seen as the drivers of the 21st Century and the prerequisites to economic success, social progress and personal empowerment” (C21 Canada, p. 4).
