Synopsis

"Schools under capitalism are not institutions of learning but of social control, aimed at reproducing the class relations and privileges of the prevailing order", Jack Barnes explains. "Until society is reorganized so that education is a human activity from the time we are very young until the time we die, there will be no education worthy of working, creating humanity. That is the historical truth".
