Abstract

This chapter examines key policy developments in schools, further, higher and adult education in recent years, and seeks to show how failures and shortcomings in the system may be remedied through – alongside other measures advocated by educational commentators and researchers – the incorporation of the MBAE approach outlined in the previous chapter. In addition, the main ideas of the ‘therapeutic turn’ critique are addressed in each section as a way of answering the central critical arguments and further elaborating and justifying my own thesis about the need for a rejuvenation of the affection dimension of education at all levels
