The document criticizes the current 20th century school system for being teacher-centered, focusing too heavily on exams and homework, and failing to motivate students. It argues a new approach is needed that is student-centered, uses cooperative learning, personalized competency-based education developing multiple intelligences. Teachers should act as guides asking questions rather than providing answers. Assessment should include multiple approaches and learning should be a meaningful and personalized process breaking from rigid timetables and molds to cultivate autonomous, responsible students. The IMAILE project offers an opportunity for this methodological change in education.
