Academic quote of the day
Jul. 2nd, 2013 08:48 pm***
"The principles of the market and its managers are more and more the managers of the policy and practices of education ... there is a new concept of knowledge and of its relation to those who create it... Knowledge should flow like money to wherever it can create advantage and profit. Indeed knowledge is not like money, it is money. Knowledge is divorced from persons, their commitments, their personal dedications... Knowledge, after nearly a thousand years, is divorced from inwardness and literally dehumanised. Once knowledge is separated from inwardness, from commitments, from personal dedication, from the deep structure of the self, then people may be moved about, substituted for each other and excluded from the market." (Bernstein, 1996: 87, original emphasis)
