How can teaching make world a better place to live?

As I see it, teaching does not necessarly makes a better place to live. There are teaching and teaching. If teaching is oriented for students to become interested in the pursuit of the the true, the good, and the beautiful, then teaching can make our world a better place to live. This is not the case when teaching is oriented to the pursuit of the false, the bad and the ugly. I think that this form of teaching is no teaching at all.

Jean Piaget once remarked that only education can save societies and even individuals from possible collapse, be it violent and gradual. Of course, education is costly, but far less costly than its alternative, ignorance.

It should be noted that for Piaget, education should aim at generating innovators and creators, not conformist people. So, he thought of teachers more as mentors and organizers of learning experiences and situations, such that the student comes to understand, reinvent, and reconstruct everything s/he learns, than as simple transmitters of ready made and established truths imposed on students from outside.

In conclusion, we may provide the tools but the students are those called to make the world a better place.
