Education For Humanity by Simenon Honoré
A visionary book grounded in the reality of the classroom that asks the question: What is education for?
The answer is as simple as it is radical. We need a clear vision to awaken humanity in our students:
“Our world is full of knowledgeable people but they cannot provide all the answers to the challenges our planet faces. We need people with integrity, honesty, compassion and above all humanity.”
Using real-life examples of 'shared humanity' in the classroom from a student’s-eye view, Education For Humanity shows how it can be made to work in practice.
The book also challenges the current ideas behind teaching "History not Herstory, still less our human story" and provides an alternative where all the voices of humanity can be heard.

The Inquirer
It was a treat to come to a book written by an educationalist with a wider view that encompasses the ethical education of students... I really wanted to shout "Hooray!" many times as I read this book.
The Spirit of Enlightenment takes us beyond simply gaining knowledge and opens new horizons for us. Our search is grounded in our sense of shared humanity.
