Critical Perspectives on Education

by Benjamin Wong, Charlene Tan, Jude Chua Soo Meng
Critical Perspectives on Education - Thryft
Critical Perspectives on Education - Thryft

Provocative exploration of education's key aspects and challenges.

This book would be a good read for educators and policymakers who are looking for a comprehensive and critical examination of the various aspects of education. With its thought-provoking questions and alternative perspectives, it encourages reflection and discussion on important topics such as learning, teaching, curriculum, and educational inequality. The inclusion of a historical overview and key policy initiatives in Singapore adds a valuable context to the discussion.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
