Purpose of Education

Just as another note on the end of The Purpose of Education:

Purpose of Education from an anarchist perspective

• for people to grow into their humanity
• to gain a critical eye
• to develop a compassionate and empathetic worldview that is capable of challenging the hegemonic order.

Central to the life and learning of the school are seven values derived from anarchist philosophy: equality, justice, solidarity, freedom, nonviolence, culture, and most importantly happiness. More than maths and languages, science and history, these are the real subjects. But how these values are learnt is as important as what they represent.
