Description

This Routledge book challenges the dominant focus on measuring educational outcomes and examines how this emphasis has obscured fundamental questions about what constitutes good education. Biesta argues that the widespread use of performance metrics to compare educational systems within and across countries, whilst appearing to address quality concerns, has actually displaced critical inquiry into educational purpose and democratic governance. The work explores why asking what makes education genuinely valuable has become increasingly difficult in contemporary policy contexts, and demonstrates how this shift has been detrimental to both educational quality and democratic control over educational systems. The author provides concrete suggestions for reconsidering education beyond purely quantitative measures, offering a philosophical intervention into how societies understand and value learning.
