The pedagogical principles of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza: a valuable contribution to reflect on equality in and through the school today
Abstract
Although equality of opportunity is part of the public political culture of Western countries, socioeconomic inequalities continue to grow and the mass democratic school, far from contributing to curb this trend, proves incapable of ensuring equality among children while preserving merit. This paper aims to explore what ideas we can extract from the pedagogical principles of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza, based on the Krausist philosophy, to achieve equality –both gender and socioeconomic– in and through the educational system.
