Debating Education in India: Issues and Concerns - Hardcover
by Maya John (Editor)
The essays in this book highlight how education as a component of cultural inheritance remains a contentious issue. Representing the transfer of knowledge, skill endowment, and so on, education harbours the tendency to support and reproduce social hierarchy, as well as the countervailing propensity towards amelioration of vulnerable socio-economic groups. A rich body of work cutting across disciplines, the volume seeks to establish the contentious past, ambivalent present and uncertain future of education. Concerns deliberated in this book have resonance with issues that are debated internationally during the era of the neoliberal shift.
