Summary

Futures of Education summarizes current tensions, debates, and the main issues developed within the UK, Europe, Australia, the USA, and Canada and actively engages with futures discourses by providing an overview of arguments about where education should be going. It focuses on neither prediction nor prescription; rather the goal is an analysis of the ways in which the notion of the future circulates in contemporary discourse. It also brings to the fore the notion of multiple educational futures within various societies and communities, thus raising the issue of choices and moving from determinism and criticism towards more substantiated visions and more meaningful dialogues about the future of education.
