What Is the Purpose of Education? - ASCD Education Update

What Is the Purpose of Education? - ASCD Education Update | Dual-Language Education in Public Schools | Scoop.it

What is the purpose of education? 

"In the United States, historically, the purpose of education has evolved according to the needs of society. Education's primary purpose has ranged from instructing youth in religious doctrine, to preparing them to live in a democracy, to assimilating immigrants into mainstream society, to preparing workers for the industrialized 20th century workplace.
And now, as educators prepare young people for their futures in a world that is rapidly changing, what is the goal? To create adults who can compete in a global economy? To create lifelong learners? To create emotionally healthy adults who can engage in meaningful relationships?"

This article looks at this issue from a variety of viewpoints, and provides historical look from 1934 to 1991. An interesting read that may raise more questions than it anwer.
