Examine the nature of this education and discuss how well it works

The theme of “education” figures prominently in various stories discussed hitherto in class. Using two texts in addition to Naomi(Tanizaki Jun’ichirō), examine the nature of this education, and discuss how well it works (or doesn’t work). How do the notions of gender, nation, and/or race relate to it? Is “education” tied to other ideas such as “career” and “life,” and/or “public” vs “private/personal” dichotomy?
