Synopsis

What are the aims of education? What role can education play in responding to the climate crisis, or to the mental health crisis among young people today? Are educators responsible for teaching students how to build healthy relationships? How can we understand decolonial approaches to teaching and learning, or begin to conceive of educational justice -- particularly after the Covid-19 pandemic?

The Future of Education explores these questions among others, bringing together leading international scholars in the philosophy of education to address some of the most pressing issues facing contemporary teaching and learning. In this robust and timely volume, contributors draw upon recent research across several fields -- including philosophy, education, and the social sciences -- to address and raise important inquiries concerning the aims, responsibilities, and future of education.

Drawing out the significant implications for educators and policymakers, this unprecedented collection explores character education, the role of student well-being in education and how to most effectively improve it, art's role in countering extremist narratives, and the necessity of student mentorship by university teachers as an important pathway to improving the future of education.
