We need to see education for what it is - the means to draw out the best from children and give them the best preparation to thrive in the world. This process promotes 'a different way of being' teachers (Bolton, 2006). London: Sage.

What will educators do in the future? Certainly, people''s perceptions of education seem to be changing. They suggest that the future of education will see learning located in any place, with technology mediating all forms of communication. However, there are elements of education that remain constant.
