    PHILOSOPHICAL ISSUES IN EDUCATION
    The central concern of this course is two-fold. First, it
    is intended to provide students who have a general interest in
    educational studies with an opportunity to examine critically a
    variety of philosophical issues in contemporary education.
    Secondly, it aims to provide students with an
    understanding
    of
    the philosophical method of enquiry. On completion of this
    course the student should have acquired, to some degree, the
    skill of identifying and tackling philosophical questions in
    education.
