Paideia Proposal

More about the book

Focusing on a democratic approach to education, the proposal advocates for a liberal education accessible to all children, countering outdated 19th-century practices. It emphasizes that every child is educable and that learning is a lifelong journey, facilitated by active engagement rather than traditional teacher-led instruction. The framework encourages diverse teaching methods and prioritizes enduring values over mere vocational training. Adler's vision aims to cultivate informed citizens, rejecting elitism in favor of inclusivity in educational opportunities.
