Course Description

Education is arguably one of the greatest influences not just on personal development but on society and nations. Education is always in the news, whether it is because of funding issues, disputes over zoning or political and religious influences in the community or in schools. John F. Kennedy said “progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource”. Education Studies investigates how this fundamental resource is shaped. It examines social, political, cultural, economic and historical perspectives on education and delves into issues of social policy, culture, gender, work and leisure.
