Learner-centred teaching and use of interactive materials
and processes empower each child to take responsibility
for his/her learning and to become an autonomous but
active partner in the learning process. Enhancing learning
through such an approach has to be viewed from a rights based
perspective, and not merely from an instrumentalist
angle.

I remember checking this report when UNESCO first released it in March. Someone sent me another useful quote from it earlier today. Thanks, rr, for the reminder.
