"What is knowledge? Who decides what is important? Who owns it? These are central themes which run through this title that aims to change perceptions and understand of education. Using historical and contemporary examples the authors examine the motivations, conflicts and contradictions in education. Breaking down the structures, forces and technologies involved they chart an alternative approach." -- Provided by publisher.
