“The author proposes that more emphasis be placed on humanities subjects in conjunction with technology related disciplines to engender more critical and creative thinking. She argues that this humanistic focus in higher education will equip learners with global social skills for the future as well as the foresight to help resolve the inequities of unchecked globalization that threaten sustainability.”

“The author argues that teaching philosophy from an early age will help develop values of empathy and open discourse, which in turn would help shape global citizens who are mindful and respectful of the diversity of opinions, ideas and ways of being in the world.”
“Sustaining and enhancing the dignity, capacity and welfare of the human person, in relation to others and to nature, should be the fundamental purpose of education in the twenty-first century.”
UN theme for 2020: “Learning for people, planet, prosperity, and peace”
“La fuente del arte es la perfección del cielo y de la tierra, y la fuente de la cultura es la perfección de la naturaleza. Esta es la idea medular de la conferencia ‘Retorno a la naturaleza, retorno a los orígenes’ que el calígrafo y poeta chino Fan Zeng pronunció el pasado mes de mayo [2009] en la UNESCO, durante la celebración del Festival de la Diversidad.”
“Se puede afirmar que mantener y aumentar la dignidad, la capacidad y el bienestar de la persona humana en relación con los demás y con la naturaleza, debería ser la finalidad fundamental de la educación en el siglo XXI.”
