Description
Education: A Very Short Introduction by Gary Thomas explores how and why education has evolved over time, examining its responses to various influences in politics, philosophy, and social sciences.
In this second edition, Thomas considers the controversies surrounding progressive versus formal teaching, as well as the global trend towards charter, academy, and 'free' schools. He also assesses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on online learning and the future shape of curriculums in a rapidly changing world.
Thomas questions the effectiveness of education in addressing issues of race, gender, and social inequality, and offers an analysis on how education may develop over the coming century.
