Overview and rationale:

If we think about learning to have two components: one that leads to tool building (information and knowledge) and another that leads to wisdom and transformation (subjective learning ), unlearning is an extraordinarily important component of the second kind. So the phrase ‘learning to learn is more closely related to unlearning through the focus is ‘freeing from what we have learned t’ that keep someone non-judgmental in learning and De-learning.

For example for evolving humanitarian qualities, we must unlearn racism, intolerance, unhealthy criticism, jealousy, and so on.
