Course Description:
Attention will be focussed on societies whose educational
systems provide a marked contrast to our own.

China, Cuba,
Russia and Tanzania will be among those studied.

The values
underlying these systems, the theory which guides them, and the
values they seek to transmit to their students will be examined.
The purpose of this endeavour will be to better understand these
societies in their own right, and, by contrast, to understand
our own more clearly.
