Education-the Wealth Contained in it is a book that caused a sensation in the world when it was published fifteen years ago. It is a paper report submitted to UNESCO by the International 2 1 Century Education Committee, many of which are groundbreaking.

The report points out that education should prepare people for a happy life, and the four pillars of future education are to let students learn to know, do things, live together and survive through education.

This report gives a new interpretation to the mission of education in the new century. Future education should not only be satisfied with giving students a little knowledge and skills, but should put students in the position of a life with dignity, personality and great development potential, and pay full attention to their development needs.

Pay attention to their spiritual life, develop their creative potential, stimulate their innovative spirit, and constantly improve their quality of life and survival value, so that they can really prepare for their own happiness in the lively, positive and harmonious development process.

The report also pointed out that

"The basic function of education seems to be more than ever to ensure that everyone enjoys the freedom of thought, judgment, emotion and imagination needed to give full play to their talents, and holds their own destiny as firmly as possible." The opposite of "freedom" is repression, imprisonment, indoctrination, slavery, destruction, trampling, bondage and bondage ... these are the two dimensions of power.

Education guarantees freedom, which means that education is exploration and enlightenment, not propaganda and indoctrination; It is equal dialogue and free communication, not instructions and orders; It is to enrich understanding, not to unify thoughts; It is respect and trust, not passive prevention.

It is the mission of education to liberate people from mutual hostility and mutual prevention, from narrow utilitarian and secular fetters, from attachment, blind obedience and stereotypes, from customs, traditions, group pressure and instinctive desires.

Any education, no matter what level it is at or what aspect it focuses on, should be its place and its root, and its fundamental connotation should be human freedom, liberation, transcendence and perfection. Otherwise, education is not education.
