Goal of education

I just read this quote after reading a blog that discussed the documentary, Waiting for Superman, which is about schooling in the US.  I liked this quotation so much, I thought I'd share it with you.
 
Psychologist, Jean Piaget said: The principal goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”
