Liberal Studies:: The past and The Way Ahead
Abstract
“There also remain a number of problems which really constitute the unfinished business of Circular 523. We still have not begun to tackle the translation into practice of the essential idea of the unity of education. The educational objectives of the technical portions of technical courses and the liberal portions are not clearly worked out in relation to each other. There is still too much time wasted upon the futile Arts v. Science dichotomy or the even worse three‐sided battle in which the Social Sciences join as a combatant. We still have not learnt how Liberal Studies tutors and the teachers of specialist disciplines can co‐operate to make unified programmes, that is programmes of study which are not unified just in the teachers' minds but in the minds of the students.’
