A New Paradigm for Global School Systems: Education for a Long and Happy Life - Sociocultural, Political, and Historical Studies in Education 1st edition

Offers a fresh paradigm for global school systems. This work argues that studies by economists, social psychologists, and others on the social factors that support subjective well-being and longevity should serve as a call to arms to change education policy; the industrial-consumer paradigm is not supportive of either happiness or long life.
