Notes
‘We have physicists, geometricians, chemists, astronomers, poets, musicians and painters in plenty, but we have no longer a citizen among us.’ JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU
‘The study of a problem whose solutions are known is training; the study of a problem whose solutions are unknown is education.’ ROBERT THEOBALD
;‘There is no such thing as a neutral educational process. Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate the integration of people into the logic of the present system and bringing about conformity to it or it becomes ‘The Practice of Freedom’, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.’ J.
