Knowledge – the key to future success

Education and active learning are vital to career opportunities and personal development.

The transition from an industrial to an information- and knowledge-based society is putting schools and universities under enormous pressure to adapt. Since the 1970s, teachers, school authorities and politicians have concentrated on the curriculum as the primary means of knowledge transfer. Now, the educational focus is shifting increasingly to the individual.

The role of teachers is changing, too. The emphasis is no longer on front-of-the-class lectures, but on moderation and facilitation. What’s more, active learning has to be made available to everyone, not just children, pupils and students – in conjunction with the corresponding educational media, methods and materials. This calls for a platform capable of supporting dynamic knowledge transfer and lifelong learning – a platform that T-Systems can provide.

Dynamic knowledge access and acquisition as the basis of competitiveness

A culture where knowledge evolves dynamically throughout the course of a lifetime benefits people of all ages, and in all organizations – giving them the opportunity to acquire the skills needed to compete in today’s global environment.

Warnfried Dettling – a political adviser and a leading German intellectual – warns, “Without good education there is no innovation. And without innovation there can be no economic leadership.”
