«El valor de educar» is Fernando Savater's essay, published by Ariel Editorial in paperback (222 pages, in Spanish).
Philosophical reflection on education and its social function: what educating means, what is expected of school, and whether it should be limited to transmitting knowledge or forming democratic citizens. It addresses discipline and freedom, the role of the family, school neutrality, and moral formation, with a final anthology of texts by thinkers on teaching.
The work was originally published in 1997; this Spanish-language edition came out in 2001. It opens with a letter to a teacher and closes with another addressed to a minister.
Fernando Fernández-Savater Martín is a Spanish philosopher, essayist and author.
