Formation or Jobs: What Is the Purpose of an Education?
Manage episode 408249228 series 3541400
What should be the top priorities when designing a country’s education system? There has been a slow movement in school curriculum away from the moral formation of the person and toward job preparedness. Enoch and Tim discuss the challenges of moral instruction under pluralism and ask each other what we most prioritize in the education of our children. Grab your copy of Plato’s Republic and sharpen those No. 2 pencils for the AP Biology exam as we talk about the purpose of education!
Credits: Drew Elliot (music) with additional thanks to the Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics & Economics.
