his book explores the interrelationship between educational crisis, social, economic, political and cultural issues, placing it in a global context. Drawing upon scholarly studies on crisis in education, it aims to provide a comprehensive and critical approach to the major discourses in this field. Individual chapters assess thoroughly dominant education topics and offer to the reader an indispensable comparative interest. In particular, the first approach of dealing with the educational crises includes nine tasks that the critical scholar/activist should follow. For example, he/she should “bear witness to negativity”, engage in critical analyses, become “critical secretary” and researcher, when it comes to challenges of social movements, reconstruct the form of a truly counter-hegemonic education, so that it serves genuinely progressive social needs. Critical educators need to act as deeply committed mentors, showing, with their way of living, that they are both excellent in research but also invaluable members of the society, that is scarred by persistent inequalities. “Crisis in Education” is also referred as the approach and action towards an event, rather than the outcome of policies. This recognizes the hardships and social wrongs, named after “neoliberalism and structural adjustments”.
