Corporation-school alliances

Tóm tắt

Even in urban areas where they predominate, corporation-school alliances have not been monitored or systematically studied. Thus, most lessons to be learned from existing programs are impressionistic. One issue does come up again and again, both as an implied question and in heated debate: does giving business a greater role in schools shift the values and priorities of education? There are those who read the new cooperative experience as pointing in the direction of an often mindless acceptance of business priorities and corporate point of view. On the other side, some argue that business people are integral and necessary members of any community, and that differences between their views and those of educators and other constituencies should be brought closer together through alliances, discussion, and mutual education.
