Reflecting on the Purpose and Practice of Education

Update: 2016-01-03

Description

This week we take a 30,000-foot level view of the purpose and practice of education. What are the goals of education? Should they be academic? Socialisation? Developing the individual? Preparing for work or academia? And why should we care about the goals?
