Here's a Christmas cheer to keep you all going through the last
painful days of term:
'Education has a fundamental connection with the idea of human
emancipation, though it is constantly in danger of being captured by
other interests. In a society disfigured by class exploitation, sexual
and racial oppression, and in chronic danger of war and environmental
destruction, the only education worth the name is one that forms
people capable of taking part in their own liberation. The business of
education is not propaganda. It is equipping people with the knowledge
and skills and concepts relevant to remaking a dangerous and
disordered world. In the basic sense, the process of education and the
process of liberation are the same.'
(Connell, 1992)
