Each One Must Shine: The Legacy of Vasily Sukhomlinsky

Vasyl Sukhomlynsky (1918-1970) was one of the most influential Soviet educators of the post-war period. His idealistic vision of human development and his deep love for children led him to develop a holistic system of education that emphasised the moral and aesthetic dimensions of a child's development, as well as the physical, intellectual and vocational. His school in the Ukrainian village of Pavlysh was visited by thousands of school teachers and his books were read by millions. Sukhomlynsky's influence has been immense in Ukraine, Russia and China. This major study presents Sukhomlynsky's work to an English-speaking audience.
