Education! Education! Education! Zusammenfassung

Education! Education! Education!: Managerial Ethics and the Law of Unintended Consequences Stephen Prickett

The essays in this book criticise the new positivism in education policy, whereby education is systematically reduced to those things that can be measured by so-called 'objective' tests. School curricula have been narrowed with an emphasis on measurable results in the 3 R's and the 'quality' of university departments is now assessed by managerial exercises based on commercial audit practice. As a result, the traditional notion of liberal arts education has been replaced by utilitarian productivity indices.

Education! Education! Education! Bewertungen

This book is a call for discernment... and finally it is a call to action. * The Tablet *
A biting collection of essays. * Journal of Applied Philosophy *
Raises issues that should be widely debated in the media and which should inform educational manifestos for the next election. * Network *
The first thing that struck me was the diverse range of contributors [divided between 'old-school Tories' and those of a more liberal persuasion], united however in their disdain for the new positivism in education policy. -- Mike Cole * Educational Review *
1977 British slogan on the cover - 'Education! Education! Education!' - is a challenge for any professor. Stephen Prickett, one of editors, sadly notes: 'Each new measure, even as it is announced, subtly reinforces the opposite message: that teaching is a low-status profession, prepared to take almost anyone prepared to stand in front of a class'. -- Liviu Drugus * The European Legacy *
