This is a book about what many teachers know but are increasingly
being prevented from talking about: that real education always
involves a risk. The risk is there because, as W. B. Yeats has put
it, education is not about filling a bucket but about lighting a
fire. It is there because students are not to be seen as objects to
be moulded and disciplined, but as subjects of action and
responsibility. The Beautiful Risk of Education is organised around
a critical discussion of seven key educational concepts:
creativity, communication, teaching, learning, emancipation,
democracy, and virtuosity. By opposing the risk aversion that
characterises many contemporary educational policies and practices,
Gert J.J. Biesta makes a strong argument for giving risk a central
place in our educational endeavours and brings risk taking to the
forefront of a critical pedagogical practice.
