Protecting education against commercialization 2015, para. 81
- Paragraph text
- The commercialization of education necessarily involves the pursuit of material values to the detriment of the humanist mission of education. Private schools propagate a commercial value system and establish a learning system devoid of cultural diversity, as they cater to particular social strata. The "cultural-valuational currency" they breed is derogatory to the "moral worth" of the very poor. Privatization eclipses a holistic approach to education: learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together and learning to be.
