Publish Date: 2010 Book In: Library The education of children
and young people in schools is one of the most important tasks
of any society – a task that is about much more than obtaining
academic qualifications. It also has an important role in
shaping people’s views and their relationships with others. In
particular, schooling can help to counteract the negative views
– hate, bigotry and prejudice – that exist in our society, and
promote the healing of community divisions.
