| The Dangerous Rise of Therapeutic Education with Kathryn Ecclestone on Thursday September 24 |
|
Today, it is not a knowledge deficit that is addressed by education but an emotional one, where building self esteem and emotional well-being rather than engaging in ideas and concepts is the goal. Education has taken an inward turn Is this a progressive step toward a more enlightened and compassionate society? Or is it a trap that is stifling creativity, undermining independance and deflecting subjectivity? "'The Dangerous Rise of Therapeutic Education' is eye-opening reading for every teacher, student teacher and parent who retains any belief in the power of knowledge to transform people's lives. Its insistent call for a serious public debate about the emotional state of education should also be at the forefront of the minds of every agent of change in society... from parent to policy maker."
