Se aprenden muchas cosas en la escuela. I think it's wrong

This sentence is an exercise from this website. But I think it's wrong.

****Se aprenden* muchas cosas en la escuela.** Lo siento. Incorrect. There is no subject nor an agent, but people in general learn many things, which is impersonal.*

I think it should be se aprende, not aprenden, am I right? Because for impersonal is always se + 3rd person singular.

"Se han divulgado estas noticias por la radio."- es una oración pasiva refleja del libro Curso superior de sintaxis espan_ola de Gili Gaya.

Sorry. Do I have to write in English?

It is an example sentence from the famous book of Gili Gaya. It has the same structure as your sentence. It's correct.

You don't have to answer in English too but it helps those of us who are beginners in Spanish to compare and understand if you are able to easily do so. Thank you for going the extra mile. - katydew, Mar 30, 2012

Se aprenden muchas cosas en la escuela.

I think it's passive, not impersonal.

Estoy de acuerdo con zhmelissa, es pasiva. Y muchas cosas es plural, por lo tanto, se requiere conjugar el verbo aprender en la tercera persona del plural (Ellos/ellas).

I hope this helps.
