Social Work Education and Avoidable Ignorance

Pages 391-413 | Accepted 01 Apr 2014, Published online: 17 Jul 2014
 

Abstract

The quality of professional education affects the quality of services offered to clients. Examples of avoidable ignorance that dilute the quality of education social workers receive are suggested, indicating that we have not been honest and energetic brokers of knowledge and ignorance. Related reasons are suggested, including a reluctance to take responsibility for the quality of our discourse.
