World class reformers are change agents and transformers,they are individuals with uncommon passion and zeal, men and women that are never deterred by any factors.
Historically, reforms have taken different forms because the motivations of reformers have differed. However, since the 1980s, education reform has been focused on changing the existing system from one focused on inputs to one focused on outputs (i.e., student achievement).
Many reformers focused on reforming society by reforming education on more scientific, humanistic, pragmatic or democratic principles.John Dewey andAnton Makarenkoare prominent examples of such reformers. Some reformers incorporated several motivations, e.g.Maria Montessori, who both "educated for peace" (a social goal), and to "meet the needs of the child" (A humanistic goal). In historic Prussia, an important motivation for the invention of kindergarten was to foster national unity by teaching a national language while children were young enough, and to help them know that learning a language was easy.
Reform has taken many forms and directions. Throughout history and the present day, the meaning and methods of education have changed through debates over what content or experiences result in an educated individual or an educated society. Changes may be implemented by individual educators and/or by broad-based school organization and/or by curriculum changes with performance evaluations.

World class reformers are inventors, thinkers,doers,world shakers and great leaders whose contributions affected their generation and generations unborn.
In the words of Albert Einstein "Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else has ever thought"

Socrates, Aristotle and Plato remains individuals whom the world continues to live on their political and philosophical thought. These trio shook the world with their thinking and words of wisdom.
