I think that's a bit of an overstatement, but it is definitely the key.
I definitely like this statement...but I am not sure I agree with it.
Much learning is passive and not a result of wanting or even trying. And, a skillful teacher can cause learning (and by extension education) to happen without the student wanting to learn, or knowing that he/she is learning.
I suppose there is a specific distinction between "education" and "learning", although I am not sure if it functionally boils down to this.
