The liberal education stands in contract to the transferable job skills of a vocational training that can further technological, economic, and social progress. In the introduction, Livingstone considers whether studying Canada's early documents and tradition can recover and resuscitate the debates that occurred at the time of the country's founding and also resurface to shed light on contemporary issues."-- CN - LC1024.C2 L53 2015 SN - 9780773597846 SN - 0773597840 SN - 9780773597853 SN - 0773597859 SN - 9780773546080 KW - Education, Humanistic : Canada.
