Learning: the treasure within
Report to UNESCO of the International Commission on Education for the Twenty-first Century
In November 1991, the General Conference invited the Director-General "to convene an international commission to reflect on education and learning for the 21st century." Federico Mayor requested Jacques Delors to chair the Commission, with a group of 14 other eminent figures from all over the world and from a variety of cultural and professional backgrounds. Learning: The Treasure Within, commonly referred to as the "Delors Report," proposes a holistic and integrated vision of education based on the paradigms of lifelong learning and the four pillars of learning to be, to know, to do, and to live together.
