"Pathologies of the 21st century education; Ideology, politics, bureaucracy”
21-23 October 2015 CKiR "Orle Gniazdo", Wrzosowa St. 28a, SZCZYRK
The main theme of this year’s conference on „Education of the 21st century” will be „Pathologies of the 21st century education; Ideology, politics, bureaucracy”.
Education is a key area for the social development of individuals, therefore its functioning is crucial. Unfortunately, nowadays there are multiple pathologies plaguing the education system in Poland. Among them are: harmful influence of various ideologies, despite the declaration of schools that they are free of them, increased bueraucracy of the education, resulting in teachers/educators have increasingly less time to teach/educate and the influence of politics on the education system.
We invite researchers and theorists from various disciplines as well as practicioners of education in various areas of life. We hope that this event will contribute to a better recognition of pathologies of today’s education system and will help in fighting them.
