ABSTRACT
It is axiomatic that education is both political and philosophical-theological activity. It is political in that any human grouping prepares its young and, to a lesser degree, its mature members either to replicate and/or to transform its received knowledge and customs. It is philosophical-theological in that all educational processes rest upon shared assumptions, articulated and unarticulated, about the nature of the world, the self and their Source (or lack of It).
