        <p class="MsoPlainText">This year is the 30th anniversary of
          Schumacher College. To celebrate this special occasion we have
          launched an international essay competition, on the theme of
          �Education as if People and Planet Matter�. This initiative is
          in collaboration with Resurgence & Ecologist magazine. <o:p></o:p></p>

        <p class="MsoPlainText">As you know, the present educational
          system serves the interest of the Industrial Age promoting
          wasteful production, consumption and ever-increasing economic
          growth on a finite planet. This educational system is in
          urgent need of transformation if we wish to see education
          remaining relevant to the age of ecology and serving the
          purpose of the regenerative culture and sustaining the
          integrity of our precious planet earth.
