Education and Social Justice in a Digital Age
ISBN: 9781447305248 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Arguing from a social justice perspective, she contends that schools should prioritize instruction in traditional subjects, which can provide disadvantaged students with formal knowledge they are not likely to learn outside...
