Klappentext zu „Education as a Global Concern “
This is an engaging discussion about the functions of education, drawing on a range of educational situations. "Education as a Global Concern" introduces the issues covered by this exciting new series, "Education as a Humanitarian Response". Colin Brock challenges the existing functions of education as widely and conventionally perceived, and promotes the notion of education as a humanitarian response as the prime function. He will examine the educational situations of a range of human groups that are marginalized or excluded from mainstream provision and will also consider the idea that 'humane' means 'appropriate'. This series presents an authoritative, coherent and focused collection of texts to introduce and promote the notion of education as a humanitarian response as a prime function of educational activity. The series takes a holistic interpretation of education, dealing not only with formal schooling and other systemic provisions in the mainstream, but rather with educational reality - teaching and learning in whatever form it comes at any age.

Rezension zu „Education as a Global Concern “
'This is a timely book that explores the marginalised, dispossessed and disadvantaged groups across the world who are neglected by the present educational arrangements. Colin Brock challenges the assumption that there is a clear correlation between educational investment and economic and social development, criticises the hold that governments and powerful groups have over what is taught in the formal sector of education, and argues that most children and adults throughout the world, what he calls he 'marginalised majority', are excluded from any formal education. As a result not only is this a global concern but it is a scandal that should be addressed. There should be a humanitarian response to this which finds ways to embrace formal, non-formal and informal education in every locality. Full of interesting and informative facts, with some hard-hitting observations and some eminently sensible recommendations, this is a thought-provoking and immensely readable book that deserves to be widely read.'Keith Watson, Emeritus Professor of Comparative and International Education, University of Reading, UK
