The aim of this book is to show what actually happens when schools start out to put into practice each in its own way, the effects of applications arise from new educational ideas and the direction and meaning that education seems to be taking at present time. The most important point that should be taken into consideration in the book “School’s of Tomorrow” which was written by John Dewey a century ago in 1915, is that Are the schools at present educational system in 2016 able to provide educational application and practices mentioned in the book?
