Some scholars argue that education systems across the western world
are becoming increasingly similar due to the influence of
transnational discourses and organizations. Others believe that
education is the panacea for all problems of social cohesion. After
all, aren't the well-educated usually more tolerant, civically
engaged and trusting than the poorly educated? This book critically
examines both claims. It finds that western countries still differ
markedly on key aspects of their education systems and that these
differences reflect distinct political traditions and different
responses to a set of competing normative and political principles.
The findings further suggest that raising the average education
level is unlikely to be an effective strategy for promoting social
cohesion. Instead, more promising are policies targeting the
opposite ends of the lifelong learning continuum: universalizing
pre-school education and care and promoting adult education with a
pronounced second chance character.
