All educational endeavors—from instruction in the classroom to
curriculum selection to the formulation of policies at the school, district,
state, and federal levels—inexorably hinge on philosophical
presuppositions, assertions, and viewpoints. So, knowledge and grasp of
philosophy are necessary for meaningful and justifiable educational activity.
In that sense, education philosophy is crucial for the appropriate direction
of educational practice.
Students, parents, and people in general would benefit from
understanding education philosophy, in addition to educators,
administrators, and policy makers at all levels. It is likely the most
fundamental and inclusive field of applied philosophy due to its relevance,
scope, and potential influence.
