Details
What is knowledge? Who decides what is important? Who owns it? These are central themes which run through this title which aims to change perceptions and understanding of education.
Using historical and contemporary examples the authors examine the motivations, conflicts and contradictions in education. Breaking down the structures, forces and technologies involved they chart an alternative approach. This book challenges common assumptions and the commodification of education. Within a global context it presents a progressive, egalitarian alternative.
