    Robin Barrow
    It is widely agreed that education should involve the development of understanding, critical thinking, imagination, and emotions.

    Robin Barrow
    Plato was the first and most formidable thinker to recognise that education is a fiercely contested concept, and to point out what great social and personal issues are at stake in education.
