A new age of education
From the events handed down to us by history, we learn that the tension for education grows as phenomena that upset the routine come to light. In times marked by one or more innovations that transform the economic and social landscape, new schools are opening up: those that the Bohemian John Amos Comenius, visionary reformer of education, had in mind in the thirties of the seventeenth century. Professor David Smith, researcher and teacher trainer, argues that Comenius believed that learning should resemble gardening and proposed that joy, piety and harmony were central to the education of children.
