Description
CANCELLED EDUCATION
Book Summary
This collective work offers a firm defense of in-depth knowledge against superficial pedagogical trends. Through reflections on competencies, reading, academic failure, and the mission of school in the 21st century, the authors critically analyze the current educational system. An essential essay for those seeking to understand the challenges of educating in a complex context and who wish to recover the value of the humanities and critical thinking.
What is it about?
The book addresses, from multiple perspectives, the crisis of contemporary education. It questions the excessive focus on empty competencies and the loss of deep knowledge, analyzing how the LOGSE has been perpetuated under new names such as the LOMLOE. It examines the so-called "technological ignorance" and the paradox of educating in the most dangerous century in history. The work vindicates the role of the humanities, reflects on the university, and distinguishes between academic failure and political failure. Through these analyses, education is presented as an impossible but necessary mission in the face of prevailing superficiality.
