Lene Rachel Andersen, on the Nordic model of education, the Folk High School approach, and how it played a significant part in transforming the Scandinavian countries.

“If we have an educational system that is so focused on science and technology only for people to get an education so they can go out and be producers and consumers, we end up losing all meaning. Only giving parts of education becomes meaningless data and we get angry, frustrated and anxious young people that don’t know why they are learning what they are learning. I think that is what we are seeing.”
