A Question of Aims and Assumptions in Canadian Education.

MacIver, D. A.

Journal of Educational Thought, v13 n1 p3-15 Apr 1979

This article concurs with a critique in the OECD Report that Canadian education is organized along industrial lines and that this organization is for the purpose of achieving academic goals. Major criticism is aimed at the "over academization" of the schools and the influence of this on society. (Author/SJL)
