The Role of Education in a Democracy: Continuing the Debate
Tony Leach; Jordi Collet-Sabé; Antoni Tort Bardolet; Núria Simó Gil; Matthew Clarke
Oxford Review of Education, v50 n4 p484-498 2024
At a time when there are renewed expressions of concern about how our societies are organised and the health of our democracies, this paper focuses on the role of education in a democracy. Informed by John Dewey's and Martin Buber's accounts of what it is to be educated, and Homi Bhabha's concept of third space work, the paper presents the case for a progressive education for democratic citizenship. Adopting an ethnologically-informed approach, the paper provides an in-depth look at two Catalan and two English schools, focussing on the ways in which they look to provide a democracy enabling education. The findings reveal how and why mutual cooperation, collaboration and dialogue in relationships are key elements in the modelling of an education for democratic citizenship.
