Notes:
In this issue the "Voice from Pari" is that of Dr Elena Liotta, a Jungian analyst involved in local politics, who has been influential in guiding the direction of the Pari Center for New Learning. Her article reflects on the nature and future of education but in a much wider setting, that of society, and its values, as a whole and, in particular the growth and education of young children. The Jesuits are supposed to have said that, if they could have the education of a child for the first seven years of its life, they could then show you the man. While it is true that many of the issues faced in university education today are the result of economic pressures within a changing world, there is also the fact that students who enter university are less free and inquiring minds than minds that have already been conditioned by our primary educational system and current social values. If we are to address the future of education, we must do this at all levels.
