Abstract

[Mass schooling is a peculiar modern phenomenon with a smaller role in education than many are willing to admit. Schools are not necessary. If they are to continue, they need to be justified—to policy-makers and to the public, and most of all to the staff and pupils in schools. Sustainable schooling recognises its lack of necessity and recognises alternatives to schooling. What would deschooling, or alternatives to schooling, look like? What is gained and lost in a society without conventional schools? Would people want to reinvent schools in such circumstances? And if schools are sustainable, may this be because they contribute to broader sustainability issues? Schools are future-oriented cross-generational communities: they can be seen as making the future—making it (more) just, in time.]
