In this timely analysis of the current state of global educational
policies, Joel Spring focuses on the spread of the Western school
model and its impact on creating an urban-consumer culture,
increasing economic inequalities, contributing to environmental
destruction and diminishing compassion and empathy essential for
energizing social justice movements. In his signature
straightforward, concise style, Spring describes and analyzes the
school's role in displacing religious with secular values,
promoting nationalism, preparing students to work in global
corporations, supporting cultural and linguistic homogeneity, and
discusses related goals and effects of anti-globalization movements
such as the Alt-right, Anti-fascist groups, radical
environmentalism and anarchism. An important addition to Spring's
body of work on global educational policies, this provocative book
challenges readers to re-examine what they know about education,
globalization and their interconnections.
