'Let's nurture a love of learning'
TWENTY families are wanted to change the face of education, as part of the Dandelion Project's most ambitious scheme yet.
The group has been trying to find ways to make Guernsey the best place to live in world by 2020 and the direction of the work has been driven by the passions of the people involved.
Marc Winn and his wife Valerie, pictured with son Charlie, 3, had been planning to leave Guernsey to move to Silicon Valley to set up a school, so they could 're-imagine' the education system. But with the birth of the Dandelion Project they have instead decided to stay and make it work here.
Mr Winn said traditional schooling methods stunted the development of some children and a new system was needed.
'If we started with a blank sheet of paper, the education system would look nothing like it does now,' he said. 'But we have evolved from the past.'
The couple are now searching for 20 children aged between eight and 12 years old. They would work with the families to create the new form of education.
