Understanding School and Society

This text explores essential definitions and analytic concepts that connect school systems to broader societal dimensions. It emphasizes the differences between schooling, training, and education, highlighting how training aims for specific outcomes while education involves unpredictable personal growth through experiences. The political economy and ideology shape how societies understand their structures and make decisions. Students are encouraged to apply this framework through class activities, examining beliefs and implications around assigned topics and exploring potential shifts in understanding across the analytic components.
