“It is education which should play the central role in the transformation
of man - this road of conscious social formation of new generations, the
basic form to alter the historical human type. *New generations and new
forms of their education represent the main route which history will follow
whilst creating the new type of man. * Vygotsky (1932?; 1994, p.81).
