Anyone who wants to understand the crisis of the education system must read this book. In this fundamental work, Aladin El-Mafaalani analyzes the problems and paradoxical effects of the education system, its dynamics, and its inertia. It provides a comprehensive diagnosis and advocates for finally bringing social inequality in education into the focus of educational policy and practice. The aim is to reduce inequality of opportunity, to expand the horizons of experience and future perspectives for all children, and to prepare the next generations for the unknown challenges of an increasingly complex society. That is the only goal. Nothing more, nothing less. As the gap has widened further due to the COVID-19 crisis, no time can be lost. Action must be taken now. This book outlines how to do it. Expanded new edition with an additional chapter on the COVID-19 crisis.
