Meritocratic Education and Social Worthlessness de Khen Lampert

Meritocratic Education and Social Worthlessness

Autor Khen Lampert
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 dec 2012
This book critically examines the socio-cultural role of achievement within education, arguing that the increasingly global demand for measurable standards of academic achievement is an expression of political ideology and the aggressive competitive reality of a neo-capitalist schooling system, resulting in many students feeling socially worthless.

Recenzii

"Meritocratic Education and Social Worthlessness ... launches an unflinching attack on schooling, which it judges to be deeply flawed. The argument is straightforward: in capitalist societies, educational institutions and educationalists alike have become wrapped up in a system of coercion. The objective they serve is to generate a sense of social worthlessness in the subjugated majority. This systematic erosion of personal esteem is designed to acclimatise the children of the masses to the objective conditions of their oppression." - British Journal of Educational Studies
