At Ersilia we believe that education is becoming not only about content knowledge, but everyday more about skills development and character building. The world no longer rewards people just for what they know- search engines know everything- but for what they do with what they know, how they behave in the world and how they adapt. Education is becoming more about creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration, about modern knowledge- including our capacity to recognize and exploit the potential of new technologies, and about the character qualities that help fulfilled people live and work together and build a sustainable humanity (Schleicher, 2016).
