The “crisis” of the educational model of the Political Reform: Irregulation of the “common” school idea and the need for an effective reformation nowadays

Abstract

Our educational culture received its last inward direction with reference to the period of the Political reform. People and the young part of it expressed their demand for a democratic status for the Greek society with a folksy content. The “led-by-a-political, party humanism” became the emblem of Democracy. In a few decades, the relationship of the “employee-status” and the “business-dealing” which prevailed throughout the civil life spectrum, not only to the structural way of the state mechanism, left behind a “pauper” society and a “pauper” school. Nevertheless, this bankruptcy is faced with economical criteria and not with the criteria of bankruptcy of an, initially, “nationalpatriotic” culture rooted on the chained to its own representations “collective-popular” subject and of a, later on, educational culture which reproduces the (schizophrenic) myth of “Greekness” in postmodern circumstances of a subjectivity emancipation. A suggested solution would be for the subject to be restrained “correctly”, on the principle of the modern concept of the disengagement from the “image” tyranny. A new subject at the school (both at Junior and Senior High School), the “History of Modern Art” would help towards this direction
