Is There Any Difference Between Justice in Schooling and Justice in Education?
Intuitively, we know that schooling and education are different. We can endure schooling while learning little; we can learn much beyond school, for instance, through work or play. Though intuitive, this difference is largely unexplored philosophically. In this talk, I argue that our philosophical neglect of the distinction between education and schooling obscures an important aspect of justice for children: children’s entitlements to justice in schooling independent of their entitlements to justice in education. I sketch a new account of ‘schooling justice.’ I demonstrate that this new conception of ’schooling justice’ is important both philosophically and socially. I consider some cases concerning race and religion in education and schooling to demonstrate how my conception of justice in schooling illuminates some important ethical dilemmas.
