How could this be achieved? What changes are needed in content and aspect? What are those great targets which could be reached through the abovementioned small steps? What are the initial steps and how could it go on? The most relevant strategic objectives of the UNESCO and the EU support those pedagogical substances what the author of the present paper considers essential to sketch the framework of a new pedagogical approach: (1) active, experience-and-challenge-based teaching and education, (2) student-centred assessment, (3) development of the social competency, especially (4) education for becoming entrepreneurs, more precisely the development of the social entrepreneurial competency.
