What is education for? As an institution found around the world, and recognised as a basic human right along with things like food, water, and shelter, there is almost universal agreement that education is important. There is far less agreement on how education should be used, or what it should contain. This course critically engages with various purposes of education in order to examine the ways that education is put to work around the world. We pay particular attention to education’s different roles within international development. In addition to looking at theories of development, and exploring what globalisation means for education, this course interrogates the multiple intentions for education during times of armed conflict.
