Dewey wrote his celebrated book on
Democracy and Education
over a hundred years ago.
Making Education Fit for Democracy
asks why education has nevertheless failed to deliver such crucial support for democracy and how it should change to reflect ethical and social responsibilities. It seeks to shed light on what has gone wrong and how it can be put right.
Reforming an antiquated system of education should be a matter for public debate. This book is written not only for those currently involved in delivering education, but also for the general public. Arguing that education needs to be holistic, encouraging open-mindedness and developing a wide range of interests, it:
Highlights the role of education in supporting democracy
Promotes nurture in civilising values over mere information-giving
Puts exams and accountability into perspective
Seeks to bridge the gulf between schooling and life
Argues for the reform of the whole system of education
Seeks to use digital technology to personalise education
Touching upon several issues currently under debate, such as the rise of populism, the role of religion and narrow subject curriculum, this book will be of interest to all students studying education as well as those involved in teacher education.
