Learning for democracy in Scotland
27th November 2006, 11:26 am
Three lecturers from Edinburgh University have circulated an open letter protesting about “the systematic reduction of democratic purpose to managerial procedure”, such as lifelong learning being reduced to learning for a living rather than learning for life and “community development … largely reduced to delivering the community to policy”.
A meeting has been arranged at the Scottish Parliament on 30th November, for preliminary discussions on action with others concerned about this.
