Education as procedural
Graham Oliver
Philosopher of education. Education that takes seriously a proper respect for our equal intrinsic worth as human beings
Educational policy-making, planning and assessment should be procedural. They should not be about specifying content or outcomes. If we intend to respect learners for the self-determining people they are entitled to become, we should not be deciding what they should believe or do, but help them to decide their own lives for themselves in the best ways.
