Synopsis
This book brings together eighteen essays on education and matters of evaluative concern to which it gives rise. The essays range from discussions of basic issues on the nature of education and the importance of its two sides, teaching and learning, to practical issues that bear on curricular development. Several of the authors focus on liberal education and its place in a liberal state. Some authors take up the topic of moral education, while others examine the notion of multicultural education. Broad social issues of educational opportunity and affirmative action are also considered. A number of authors speak to educational reforms and conditions in particular countries, including Italy, Canada, and the United States. For anyone with an interest in formal education or a love of life-long learning, the essays in this book offer fresh ideas for reflection.

Review
"... Values and Education would best serve an audience interested in the moral dimensions of various educational debates ... A notable highlight is Robert Ginsberg's analysis of Montaigne's "Of the Education of Children" and his argument for a multiform, multidisciplinary reading of this flawed, yet enduring text." in: Ethics, July 2000
