Reform & Policy Editorial Review
Why Knowledge Matters: Rescuing Our Children from Failed Educational Theories by E.D. Hirsch is a well-written and insightful book that argues in favour of stronger curriculum in education. Hirsch examines the flaws in contemporary education theories and advocates for a return to a knowledge-based curriculum that teaches students the cultural knowledge they need. The book uses up-to-date research and data to make the case for a shift in educational thinking towards a more knowledge-focused curriculum.
