Today we explore the history of modern mass schooling. My guest, Agustina Paglayan, argues in her new book that schooling was originally a strategy for state-building through indoctrination.
Agustina Paglayan is a political science and public policy professor at the University of California, San Diego, and a nonresident fellow at the Center for Global Development. Her new book is “Raised to Obey: The rise and spread of Mass Education," which was published by Princeton University Press.
