A Concise History of Education

"The epic story of how humanity has always learned, taught and imagined its future."

A Concise History of Education is a sweeping journey through humanity's oldest and most enduring practice: the passing down of knowledge. From fireside storytelling in ancient communities to the rise of universities, from colonial classrooms to digital learning, this book reveals how societies have taught, preserved and transformed knowledge across the ages.

Written in a clear, narrative style, it shows that education has never been neutral. It has been a tool of survival, a sacred duty, a weapon of empire and a stage for liberation.

This is not a textbook - it is a story; a story of memory and imagination, of how each generation has sought to prepare the next for life, faith, work and freedom. It reminds us that education is so much more than classrooms: it's about identity, power and the possibility of change.

Whether you are a teacher, a student or simply curious about how societies shape themselves, this book offers a fresh, compelling perspective on the endless lesson of what it means to be human.
