The entrepreneurial renaissance springs up from learner-centred education. The Renaissance was a time of learning, marked by humanists gathered at the court of Lorenzo de 'Medici (1449-1492). There were Renaissance educators and then others in their wake who conceived innovative ways of understanding education, tracing revolutionary paths as compared with the teaching orthodoxy carried out in the school.
In a report from Tokyo in February 1990, the Italian journalist Tiziano Terzani wrote about the Japanese school: "At school the child is not used to think for themselves, but trained to say the right thing at the right time. For each question there is an answer and that must be learned by heart. 'What happens when the snow melts?' – asks the teacher– and the entire class, in chorus, has to answer, 'It becomes water'. If one is to say, 'Spring is coming!, is reproached”.
