EP103 Deschooling Society by Ivan Illich book review pt2

Back in 1971, Ivan Illich wrote the groundbreaking book "Deschooling Society." 

Illich didn't hold back in criticizing the traditional and mainstream approaches to education that we've all become familiar with. He also presented a clear and progressive vision for the future, which still holds weight even after five decades.

Join us for part 2 of our book review, where we dive into Illich's ideas for a post-school society. His proposals of skill exchanges, peer networks, and resource sharing, align pretty well with the systems we have available today in 2023. And so we're left wondering why our current reality doesn't match Illich's vision.

We hope you find this discussion interesting and perhaps it inspires some ideas for how the 3 types of school model in your school’s context. If you are interested in establishing what kind of school context you are currently in, please take our 2 minute survey which can be found by clicking here.
