Only 150 years ago, the majority of the world's population was largely illiterate. Today, not only do most people over fifteen have basic reading and writing skills, but 20 percent of the population attends some form of higher education. What are the effects of such radical, large-scale change? David Baker argues that the education revolution has transformed our world into a schooled society-that is, a society that is actively created and defined by education. Drawing on neo-institutionalism, The Schooled Society shows how mass education interjects itself and its ideologies into culture at large. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

This notion of education as a primary institution allows Baker to draw out problems with and contradictions inherent to other theories of education as a secondary institution, which asserts education's essential function is re-productive, rather than primarily productive as Baker argues.
The weakest part of the book is probably the chapter on education and religion, as it relies on the American context, and generalises to the rest of the world from that (when it comes to the sociology of religion, a good rule of thumb is never to generalise from the USA to the rest of the world). Another issue with the book itself (rather than its content) is the index, which is dreadful. Still, best book on education I have read in years. ( )
