Educational systems: Access and Content
• Local knowledge: restricted by rules of access and local horizons.
• Formal education systems should
• provide generalised access
• systematically define contents, including Participatory curriculum development, mixing mix modern and traditional knowledge
• focus on context-relevant knowledge and life skills

Extension systems
• Are a source of modern knowledge and competence
• Provide competence where and when it is needed, also for illiterate people
• Focus on adults in the production cycle: can promote life-long learning
• Typically have a technical bias; should focus increasingly on process competences
• Willingness-to-pay depends on relevance

Market orientation
• Allows to diversify consumption
• Changes preferences for goods and services to be exchanged
• Contains high potential for self-employment
• Values marketing skills and entrepreneurial spirit
• Can foster demand for new training
• Usually increases willingness-to-pay for training

Sustainable behaviour…
• … for the ecologic, social, economic, political sphere
• depends on the understanding of broader, complex relations in time
• Can be promoted, but enjoys low preference against today’s opportunities
• Depends on enforcement of rules and regulation

Productive learning contexts
• Are difficult to plan, have to grow and evolve
• Are context specific
• Depend highly on dedicated teachers and animators
• Show good inherent dynamic to spread, where successful
• “How do we learn best?” deserves more attention
