Marjo, I am surprised that the world has not noticed this groundbreaking initiative. I fully support your ideas and we believe we can measure and support you online and on the web. We are working on equally innovative software in an eco knowledge system to track all the learning for each student, help each teacher find appropriate content and deliver personalised learning paths for each student.

Wow, it is wonderful to know and learn that the country with the best education system is redesigning its education system. I have been wondering how one can change that, after realizing that our curriculum is not relevant today. Having someone leading in this is great. We will follow you and support you! This is the beginning of a better and relevant future for our children.
