Lawler, Peter Augustine – Educational Horizons, 2005
The conflict between the followers of Jacques Maritain and the followers of John Dewey seems to amount to this: each group accuses the other of promoting education for tyranny.

Scott, Catherine – Australian Journal of Education, 2010
Education as an institution fulfils the key social functions of promulgation of knowledge and the development of future citizens.

Anatomists are therefore presented with the challenge of delivering required levels of core anatomical knowledge in a reduced time-frame and with…
