FLEXIBILISATION, PERSONALISATION
DIFFERENTIATION
—‘The curriculum is one. What is the curriculum? It has to do with giving students what they didn’t ask for. For me, this is one of the most important things of being an educator. Not to give students what they ask for, but to give what they didn’t ask for or weren’t looking for. (...) This is because students may not even know that they could be looking for it or asking for it, and the educator's work is to open doors, particularly where students didn’t even know that there was a door. (...) The future of education, should not be confused with the future of learning in an impulssociety with flexible learning environment, teachers as facilitators, and personalised learning.’
Gert Biesta 2025, p.7, also 2022, p. 70-71.
