In a thousand years people will look at these social ‘sciences’ the way we look at alchemy.

Truly pathetic!

What is a "non-formal education system?"

Parents teaching their children?

[hinckley buzzard]

Offered by people who know nothing about either education or social justice. Figures, from an education department.

What is a "non-formal education system?"
No ties required - shoes optional.

No thanks, I have decided on a degree in “UNDERWATER BASKET WEAVING”....much more useful.

Are there a lot of job openings for a Doctor of “Social Justice”?

[17th Miss Regt]

There are jobs as political commissars in North Korea.

[onedoug]

What a farce. UMass I mean.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Plenty of openings in government.

[Pearls Before Swine]

What a waste of effort on the part of all concerned.

Alchemy has more reality than "social science".

There is no such as “social justice” because it has no concrete definition.

“Social Justice” is whatever the speaker says it is. It’s a term used by politicians and activists to get votes.

Getting a degree in “Social Justice” is a waste of time.

From Wikipedia:

"Non-formal education became part of the international discourse on education policy in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It can be seen as related to the concepts of recurrent and lifelong learning. Tight (1996: 68) suggests that whereas the latter concepts have to do with the extension of education and learning throughout life, non-formal education is about ‘acknowledging the importance of education, learning and training which takes place outside recognized educational institutions’. Fordham (1993) suggests that in the 1970s, four characteristics came be associated with non-formal education:"

"Relevance to the needs of disadvantaged groups. Concern with specific categories of person. A focus on clearly defined purposes. Flexibility in organization and methods."

In other words, whatever form of authoritarian indoctrination the Left Wing chooses to inflict on your children.
