The gift of education is the first book to dissect the new 'venture philanthropy" in education. challenging common representations of the new philanthropy as primarily about care, generosity, and opportunity, Saltman argues that the new philanthropy is at the forefront of a movement to undermine universal public education and educational leadership to making students into consumers, knowledge into commodities, and classrooms into boardrooms, Saltman goes beyond exposing the financial and ideological agendas behind the new philanthropy proposing an original and timely approach to revaluing public schooling, renewing educational obligations and rethinking what it means to really give an education"-- Back cover.
