Meta-reflections

Jennifer M. Gidley

pp. 269-271

I offer some concluding reflections here but not a lockstep short cut to what I have already said. Let me be clear. There are no short cuts to evolving education. Unless we resolve to rehumanise education so its core purpose becomes once again to develop whole human beings who care, who have and respect life, who exercise wisdom, and who have the courage to voice their truths to those who would corrupt our futures, then we should forget about the whole idea of education altogether. Nothing less will suffice, if our young people are to become whole enough to navigate the complex futures they will ineluctably inherit.
