On the mountains and beneath the waves, beside railway tracks and aboard buses, in prisons and in the tents of nomads, here are the world’s most extraordinary classrooms.
Selected from nearly 1,000 submissions sent in from more than 130 countries, The Other Hundred Educators’ 100 photo-stories travel the globe in search of our greatest unsung teachers.
With an introduction by the novelist Gish Jen, an afterword by anthropologist Jason Hickel and personal reflections from anti-schooling activists Bayo Akomolafe and Manish Jain, Portuguese writer Susana Moreira Marques, Academy Award-winning film-maker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Brazilian novelist Luiz Ruffato, Lebanese thinker Hani Soubra, and linguist and teacher Yalmay Yunupingu, The Other Hundred Educators is an invitation to think anew about learning in the 21st century.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The world of education is far more diverse and a great deal more interesting than the mainstream media would have us believe. The notion that our most valuable educators might have more to offer than entry to elite schools forever striving for the top of dubious rankings is all-too-rarely acknowledged in today's society. Questioning our conventional understanding, The Other Hundred Educators introduces the people who have pioneered unique ways of teaching that have changed the lives of many. In many cases they have made more profound and life-altering contributions to the expansion of human knowledge than any formal institution - and yet you will never see their names at the top of so- called official rankings and league tables. From the Madrasah teachers of Tul Banat, Pakistan, who teach girls history, Arabic and the Qur'an to Alice Waters of the Edible Schoolyard project in America, who has been teaching health and nutrition by converting gardens and kitchens into classrooms, this is a celebration of 100 educators whose names you should know.
