Deschooling

Ivan Illich, Austrian philosopher, Roman Catholic priest and critic of the institutions of contemporary western culture and their effects on the provenance and practice of education, medicine, work, energy use, and economic development.

Ivan Illich, 1926 - 2002

“Deschooling Society”

Separated at birth?

"...Schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them."

“Together we have come to realize that for most men the right to learn is curtailed by the obligation to attend school.”

“Schools are designed on the assumption that there is a secret to everything in life... and that only teachers can properly reveal these secrets.”

“New educational institutions would...facilitate access for the learner: to allow him to look into the windows of the control room or the parliament, if he cannot get in by the door.”

“When pressed to specify how they acquired what they know and value, will readily admit that they learned it more often outside than inside school. Their knowledge of facts, their understanding of life and work came to them from friendship or love, while viewing TV, or while reading, from examples of peers or the challenge of a street encounter.”
