Welcome to Reconcile Digest #3. I’m so glad you’re here.
This one is for:
the educators
the educated
everyone else in society that is impacted by the choices institutions make.
The benefits of higher education are often framed in economic terms: employability, productivity, and measurable outcomes.
A lecturer who volunteered to speak with pupils at a local secondary school - the first question the pupils asked of her was:
‘Do you earn loads of money? How much do you earn?’
Today’s research digest is on the paper ‘Universities, the Public Good and Professional Education in the UK’, which questions if it could be about more: capability & freedom. The reflection questions at the end are also particularly good today!
