Description

This scholarly work traces UNESCO's evolving educational philosophy from 1945 to the present day, examining how the organisation's commitment to lifelong learning has shifted in response to historical pressures and ideological tensions. The author analyses the fundamental conflict between UNESCO's humanistic, emancipatory vision for global education and the mounting economistic and technocratic demands that have reshaped its institutional direction. The book explores how UNESCO has attempted to maintain intellectual continuity whilst departing from its original utopian ideals, offering critical insights into the political and social forces that have influenced international educational policy over decades. Published by Routledge as part of their Research in Lifelong Learning and Adult Education series, this work is essential reading for scholars, educators, and policymakers seeking to understand the complex history of global educational governance and the ideological battles that define contemporary learning frameworks.

Key Features

This Routledge publication explores UNESCO's educational philosophy and its transformation from the organisation's founding in 1945 through contemporary practice.

The book examines the ideological tensions between humanistic-emancipatory approaches and economistic-technocratic pressures within UNESCO's institutional development.

Elfert's intellectual history provides critical analysis of how UNESCO balanced utopian educational vision with pragmatic institutional pressures across decades.

Part of the Routledge Research in Lifelong Learning and Adult Education series, offering scholarly depth for academic and professional audiences.

The work addresses how international educational governance has evolved through competing philosophical frameworks and political influences affecting global learning policy.
