postmodernism

• what do postmodernists think about schools?

  Schools are now diverse and more consumerist than before. Education has changed to meet the needs of a postmodern society.
• how has education changed?

  -education is more individualised e.g., teachers have to use multiple approaches to accommodate.

  -education is hyperreal e.g., online learning.

  -education is more diverse e.g., specialist schools.

  -education is fragmented e.g., working class feel alienated, upper class children have a better experience.
• AO3 - postmodernism on education

  -schools cannot teach us a value consensus as there is more diversity and people have varying norms + values.

  -there cannot be social solidarity because of fragmentation so schools cannot teach this.
