Prínos Komenského pre tento svet (Contributions of Komensky)
1. Jeho presadzovanie všeobecného vzdelania, ktoré znamená vzdelanie pre chudobných i bohatých, pre dievčatá a chlapcov, pre bystrých aj menej bystrých. 

2.Jeho inovatívny prístup k vyučovaniu a učeniu, kde zdôraznil dôležitosť praktických vedomostí, čo znamená nie memorovanie pravidiel, ale praktické používanie pravidiel v kontexte. 

3. Jeho presadzovanie používania vizuálnych pomôcok na pomoc v procese učenia, ktoré sa začalo iba nedávno plne realizovať.
