Dewey wrote his celebrated book on Democracy and Education over a
hundred years ago. Making Education Fit for Democracy asks why
education has nevertheless failed to deliver such crucial support
for democracy and how it should change to reflect ethical and
social responsibilities. It seeks to shed light on what has gone
wrong and how it can be put right. Reforming an antiquated system
of education should be a matter for public debate. This book is
written not only for those currently involved in delivering
education, but also for the general public. Arguing that education
needs to be holistic, encouraging open-mindedness and developing a
wide range of interests, it: Highlights the role of education in
supporting democracy Promotes nurture in civilising values over
mere information-giving Puts exams and accountability into
perspective Seeks to bridge the gulf between schooling and life
Argues for the reform of the whole system of education Seeks to use
digital technology to personalise education Touching upon several
issues currently under debate, such as the rise of populism, the
role of religion and narrow subject curriculum, this book will be
of interest to all students studying education as well as those
involved in teacher education.
