Readings in Philosophy of Education

This book focuses on major issues of philosophy of education within Nigerian social context. Educational institutions are established for a multiplicity of reasons. Fundamentally, these reasons include making significant and milestone contributions to societal growth and development in all fields of human endeavour, research ¿ modeling and postulations of solutions, providing industries with essential services such as staff training, consultancy, playing advisory roles to government, policy makers and the organized private sector. This book provides revolutionary ideas on the cultural relevance of educational pedagogy and curriculum. It examines elements of cultural and environmental imperatives of education, appraises the importance of digital technology on education, and critically examines the influence of politics and economics on the transmittable values, providing recommendations and policy issues on a more desirable distribution of wealth within the global community using the instrumentality of education.
