Question

Could you tell me what this sentence means, please?
"If you can light the spark of curiosity in a child, they will learn without any further assistance." 
What is "without any further assistance" ?

Thank you in advance.

Answer

"without any further assistance" means "on his own, even if you don't help him anymore".

So, the whole sentence may be paraphrased:

If you arouse the curiosity of a child, they will learn on their own even if you do not continue to help them (because now they are driven by the curiosity to know).

Answer

It means that they will learn all by themselves driven by their own will.
