La (des)educación

La (des)educación by Noam Chomsky Critique of our current education system, La (des)educación offers a scathing assessment of how we teach and what we aim to achieve. Chomsky argues that the model of education in place is designed primarily to produce teachers whose intellectual capacity is diminished, rather than fostering critical thinking and independent analysis. In this book, Chomsky provides tools for dismantling such an approach, advocating instead for educators who reject technical training and instead become authentic intellectuals capable of denouncing hypocrisy, social injustices, and human suffering. By adopting this approach, students can expand their horizons and work towards creating a more democratic, inclusive, and just society. By examining the structures that underpin our lives, Chomsky offers a compelling vision for education that prioritises critical thinking and personal autonomy.
