FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

The many public debates launched by governments on education, such as Tony Blair's emphasis on "education, education, education" have nonetheless failed to consider the place of the good society in educational endeavour. The traditional account of education is that it not only teaches pupils the skills to earn a living, but also teaches a concern for the welfare of others, a love of the many cultures of learning and a commitment to the best values of society. Education and the Good Society seeks to examine these considerations and to restore them to the centre of the educational debate.ULRICH BECK Professor of Sociology, University of Munich, Germany JOHN DUNFORD General Secretary of the Secondary Heads Association, UK ROY HATTERSLEY Member of the House of Lords and Former Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, UK RICHARD HOWELLS Lecturer, University of Leeds Institute for Communication Studies, UK TAMSYN IMISON DBE Head of Hampstead School, UK CHANTAL MOUFFE Professorial Fellow, Centre for the Study of Democracy, University of Westminster, UK JON NIXON, Professor of Education, University of Sheffield, UK RICHARD PRING Professor of Education, University of Oxford, UK PETER SCOTT Vice-Chancellor, Kingston University, UK MELANIE WALKER Senior Lecturer in Education, University of Sheffield, UK TOM WYLIE Chief Executive, National Youth Agency, UK
