There is general consensus and a vast body of literature arguing that the education system is failing us. In the age of a global knowledge economy, the production of knowledge is becoming a financial enterprise and the logic of the market regulates every aspect of society, including how education is organized; we need to analyze the crisis of education in relation to the larger, self-reproducing, socio-economic and political crisis, which is also a crisis of the imagination. Neoliberal forces with their exploitative relationship to the world are putting our communities at risk by altering the emergent, relational, and co-dependent character of the natural and cultural ecologies within which we live. They are destroying the commons, including the diversity of the cultural ones. The primary focus of a new pedagogy, or a pedagogy otherwise, should be the promotion of a different learning that prepares us for an ecologically sustainable and socially just future.
