And yes, I completely agree about how ideas of the future tie into educational philosophy. We're just recruiting (at MMU) for a studentship looking at neo-liberal/co-operative education philsophies, so will hope to explore this further. Thanks also for the link to FE and social productivity. Thanks Paul. And yes, I completely agree about how ideas of the future tie into educational philosophy.

It's a great thinking tool. Perhaps it would be useful to reflect more on how views of the future interact with our views of educational value, - instrumental, liberal, socially disruptive... It also strikes me that these discussions, and the potential for agency, are particularly important for FE at this time. The 2020 Public Services Hub at the RSA discusses them in its (our) recent report into Further Education and social productivity - http://2020psh.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/The-Further-Education-and-Skills-Sector-in-2020.pdf Comments welcome.
