43. Education vs. Learning

44. However, education and learning are two very different things.
Education is a political enterprise, it is paid for and supported by
society for a range of different reasons, often valuable and often
conflicting, and despite “universal suffrage”, “representative
democracy” , “model”, and other terms that help us sleep at
night, education is about power.

brains
