ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters on this book. The book concerns about what has been done to education is that here, it is now no longer a humanising journey of democratic discovery. It seeks to reveal some of the major factors that, if addressed, might help avoid the further dehumanisation of education. The book proposes that there are sufficient grounds for wanting education to help us co-exist peaceably with our neighbours, everywhere. It suggests that one of the principal roles for teachers, as enablers of learning, is to hold open doors through which others may venture and explore wider horizons. The book attempts to weave together philosophical and psychological narratives about teaching and teachers, their moral and ethical positioning and how these affect their identities and efficacy. It concludes that the treatment of teachers as both human and 'educators' could be described as 'immoral'.
