Why Minerva?
The etymology:
Minerva (Etruscan: Menrva) was the Roman goddess of wisdom and sponsor of arts, trade, defense and who was born from the godhead of Jupiter with weapons.[1] The Romans from the 2nd century BC onwards equated her with the Greek goddess Athena. She was the virgin goddess of music, poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, crafts, magic.[2] She is often depicted with her sacred creature, an owl usually named as the “owl of Minerva“,[3] which symbolizes her ties to wisdom (Wikipedia).
Real, global education is comprehensive education, vast in nature and scope, transcending geographic borders; it is education not just for the sake of education; not just for the sake of gathering data and data points; not just for deriving information from such data and data points; not even just gaining knowledge from such information, but to achieve a sense of wisdom that comes only with a synthesis of varied experiences and universal, all-encompassing learning.
