From Education to Life: A Review of Its Role and Tasks

This title contributes to ongoing discussions on the important role of education and on the challenging tasks facing educators today.

Drawing on their long, vast and varied experience as educators, administrators and scholars, the authors deal specifically with certain fundamental issues with a view to engaging those involved in education in an examination of what underlies educational theory and practice.

The book shows that education is not simply about attending school, academic institutions or any other establishment of learning or training, but, rather, is a process that looks further than the time spent learning lessons, attending lectures, doing research, acquiring knowledge, honing skills, or developing competence, important and crucial as these activities are to human development.

Its greatest challenge and purpose come, instead, from life itself.
