The Welfare Renaissance: The New Swedish Model

Build a school for children from age three: “An extraordinary school for ordinary children”. Make its motto: “A school valuing chickens and computers”—blending nature with the world’s best technology. Build on the concept of many intelligences so

education is tailor-made for each student, respecting unique talent and ability. Set up a “Knowledge Port” as an Information

technology center, with three arms: A multimedia communications and production center. A multimedia publishing company,

specializing in learning material. A training center for teachers and others who work with children, with special emphasis on new technology. Establish two other projects to promote the concept of lifelong learning: A “school without walls” so students

can learn from a variety of experiences. A multimedia center to act as a family and community resource.
