Ut refers to the fact that educational systems across the world embark on a search of a new paradigm which will let go of the old, standard-oriented, rigid & mechanistic system and will give rise to a new, creative, fluid & organic eco-system; that would get more alive by bringing learner-centered , engaging, activity-oriented education that would allow those in need of learning to learn everywhere & all the time & throughout their lives.
