Description: Globally, the meaning and nature of education is reconstructed by changing social conditions. Globalisation and marketisation are the motifs. The 'knowledge society' and lifelong learning have become central concepts. From a socio-cultural perspective, postmodernist writers have questioned Enlightenment thinking - the grand and universal narratives that traditionally shaped education (liberalism, humanism, radicalism and human capitalism) and the modernist view of education as an unproblematic, value-free key to personal and social progress.
