Citizenship and the Schools

Viac o knihe

First published in 1907, this classic work of educational theory argues that schools have a crucial role to play in preparing students for citizenship in a democracy. Jeremiah Whipple Jenks was a leading progressive educator and social reformer of his time, and his book remains a valuable source of insights and ideas on the relationship between education, democracy, and civic engagement. This new edition includes a preface by education scholar Diane Ravitch, who highlights the relevance of Jenks's ideas for contemporary debates on education policy.
