Abstract :

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the significant yet frequently studiously overlooked contributions of Nadezhda Krupskaya to vocational education and training (VET), emphasizing the troubling trend of her deliberate marginalization and underestimation within contemporary educational discourse. Despite her groundbreaking principles that advocate for the seamless integration of practical experience with theoretical knowledge, Krupskaya’s innovative ideas have often been rebranded and repackaged in modern meretricious educational frameworks, stripped of their original context and significance. Her pioneering emphasis on polytechnic education, which engenders a holistic approach to learning that connects academic study with real-world labour activities, has been co-opted by various educational incondite reforms, presented as novel concepts while neglecting their roots in her foundational work. Her advocacy for experiential learning and the cultivation of technical creativity has laid the groundwork for many current pedagogical practices, yet these contributions are frequently unrecognized, leading to a historical amnesia regarding her influence. This study seeks to reclaim Krupskaya’s legacy, firmly asserting that her innovative methodologies and educational philosophies are not only essential to understanding the evolution of VET but also critical in addressing contemporary educational challenges in general. By illuminating the profound impact of her prolific ideas, this paper calls for a re-evaluation of Krupskaya’s role in the history of educational thought, advocating for the recognition and celebration of her contributions as vital to the ongoing discourse on inclusive and equitable education. In doing so, it highlights exhortatively the necessity of acknowledging the origins of educational innovations that have been unjustly appropriated, ensuring that Krupskaya’s rightful place in the annals of pedagogical history is restored and honoured.
