Introductory and Editorial Note

Abstract

In this evolving Commentary Section, our coverage will span a diversity of opinions, ranging from robust critiques of education theories, policies and practices, to equally robust defences of the status quo—both internationally and locally. While Education as Change is committed to the human right to disagree, and while reason and rationality are often regarded as pillars of academic debate and discussion, these pillars of academic freedom and exploration are not to be confused with the contested and indeed liberal notion of “objectivity”.
