Overview
This international collection forms a response from 22 educators to our changing political environment and to the reassessment they provoke of the principles shaping educational thought and practice. The philosophical discussion, however, remains clearly rooted in the world of educational practice and its political content.
Synopsis
The essays in this international collection are a response from twenty two educators to political changes brought about by the collapse of old empires and the rise of new democracies. Their ground-breaking work provokes a reassessment of some of the fundamental principles which shape educational thought and practice. They focus in particular on four key clusters of issues to do with the role of education in cultivating national identity, market principles, personal autonomy and democratic citizenship.
