Social models are particularly influential in how a society structures its education system. The current Irish crisis invites a number of questions for the educational sector:
Which social values can or should be prioritised in its education
system?
Whose social needs should or can be addressed?
Which social skills can and should be developed?
How can education play a role in overcoming crises and enacting change?
