We live in divided and diverse societies. Current data tell us that the state of education in much of the western world may be ill-designed and ill-suited to the future needs of society. The legislated culture of education in schools frequently seems hostile to the well-being of both teachers and young people. In this current piece of work, I offer some questions about why this may be the case. With the context of climate change and global metamorphosis in mind I suggest we need to ask and discuss what we might mean by and want for ‘education’: what might be its purposes; could it be better, more ethical; shouldn’t it be more inclusive? Alternatively, we might ask, simply, ‘what is the problem that education / schools might address?’ Further discussion and ensuing answers to these questions might, I suggest, help us learn how to be human beings who care about and for each other and our diverse natures.
