Above all else, children copy the adults closest to them. As a teacher I'm aware that all the time, more and more aspects of a child's upbringing are being pushed into the classroom for us to deal with because they are not being addressed by society. Society needs to get a grasp again on what is "best" rather than what is politically acceptable, or chepest, or most convenient.]]></description><guid>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/comments/198/what_is_education_for#comment1177</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Mar 2009 22:44:54 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Robin Shawyer]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/comments/198/what_is_education_for#comment1173</link><description><![CDATA[John, I think it might be enriching to the discussion of the purpose of education or a Christian vision of education to include reflections from the developing world where the attitude to formal education is often very different from that in the UK. It seems to me that the UK government has taken a number of unhelpful directions in education. The government and schools have only a limited role to play in education. I believe I have learnt a lot in the past 24 hours from many different sources, written, face to face, the phone, etc. All this is education which is about realising potential and not about drumming in skills.

Some of the reasons that those from \"disadvantaged\" homes struggle to compete with those from \"privileged\" ones, in, for example, access to Cambridge, is not because of what has happened in the classroom or the examination hall but what has happened in the home and in interaction with others. You cannot address that through the schools.

One key to education in Africa has been respect for the wisdom of those who are older. Sadly western values are undermining this respect and that is a great disservice.
