Education for the Good Society
Edited by Neal Lawson and Ken Spours
This publication starts with the fundamental question, what is education for? It tries to answer that question with a values based approach to education underpinned by the belief that everyone can be educated and that those who have least should get more resources and focus. It also recognises the importance of educating for togetherness not for social separation; and the need for a broad, creative curriculum that develops knowledge and skill, and nurtures innovation.
