"The rate of change within society is accelerating so rapidly that it is difficult to assess what factual knowledge will be needed in the future, and this means that schools should be less focused on imparting information than on teaching students to learn and to think for themselves."
from 'Teaching Thinking' (2nd ed.) by Robert Fisher.
