«El valor de educar» is Fernando Savater's essay on education and philosophy, published by Ariel in 1997 in paperback (222 pages, in Spanish).
Savater reflects on the meaning and aims of education: what it is, what is expected of it, and whether it should be limited to transmitting knowledge or to forming people for democratic citizenship. He addresses tensions such as discipline and freedom, the role of the family, moral formation, school neutrality, and the decline of the humanities. The book opens with a letter to a teacher, closes with another to a minister, and includes a brief anthology of educational texts by philosophers and writers.
Essay published in 1997 by Ariel in Barcelona. The work is presented in a paperback edition and its content includes bibliographical references.
