• Suffering is our best teacher because it
  hangs onto us and keeps us in its grip
  until we have learnt that particular
  lesson. Only then does suffering let go. If
  we haven’t learnt our lesson, we can be
  quite sure that the same lesson is going
  to come again, because life is nothing but
  an adult education class, If we don’t pass
  in any of the subjects, we just have to sit
  the examination again. Whatever lesson
  we have missed, we will get it again. That
  is why we find ourselves reacting to
  similar situations in similar ways many
  times.

  Ayya Khema

• I believe that everyone has expertise to sell and that people want to purchase that knowledge in a convenient way. Just as Airbnb made people realize that an extra room in their home or apartment can be a source of income, the new Learning Annex provides a platform for people to monetize their knowledge. It’s an exciting time for online adult education and our new platform is the way to unify an otherwise fragmented market.

• There are thus two tasks for the Mass Media division of Unesco, the one general, the other special. The special one is to enlist the press and the radio and the cinema to the fullest extent in the service of formal and adult education, of science and learning, of art and culture. The general one is to see that these agencies are used both to contribute to mutual comprehension between different nations and cultures, and also to promote the growth of a common outlook shared by all nations and cultures.
