Since the first Waldorf school was founded by Rudolph Steiner some 80 years ago, more and more people have understood the need for changes in the way we think about education. In over 2000 Waldorf schools and associated educational institutions in 45 countries, people have found an education that respects and values the human being as a whole.

They have realised that a purely intellectual approach in teaching contradicts the nature of learning: both children and adults learn (understand and remember) best when they can be active, when their soul is nourished, and when the content is presented and practised in an artistic way.

Dr Richard Blunt explored Waldorf Education for his M.Ed degree at Rhodes University, Grahamstown - this book arose out of his research material.
