What manner of education  and/or training is necessary and sufficient  to prepare a seafish to thrive and be fully productive at a task on land? For as little or as long a time as a fish stays active on land, it may only tend to sub-optimal survival. It may not maximize productivity. Nevertheless, if a fish receives education and training within  water, its genius is more likely to emerge with practice. Education can be powerful tool for creative societal change when humans are first trained to discover and harness their natural bent. We all must work to ensure that education is useful for everyday life. As we celebrate 2021 International Day of Education, let us create sustainable and empowering education cultures, structure, infrastructure, and intrastructure.
