Seven Myths about

Education

Seven Myths About Education is a book

about education by Daisy Christodoulou. It
suggests that declarative knowledge such
as facts is being neglected in modern
education because of the priority given to
procedural knowledge such as skills.[1] It
was first published as an e-book by The
Curriculum Centre in 2013 and then in
hardback and paperback by Routledge in
2014.
