Question

Contribution of ivan illich in sociology of education

Answer 1

This thesis examines the extent to which Ivan Illich's educational thought retains relevance for the present day. The approach taken is to examine his writings in detail before conducting a review of some of the criticisms it provoked. This is followed by an examination of his proposed educational alternatives in the light of the perceived roles generally ascribed to schools in modern society. Finally, the potential of achieving his vision of a convivial society is compared with some other perspectives on modern society and some post-industrial themes.
