MoreLong description:
The commonsense understanding of `education` rests on the assumption that it has a straightforward positive value. In practice education is profoundly ambiguous in its effects. By focusing on `educational regimes`?and thereby locating values in a broad political terrain encompassing global, national and local contexts?this collection of original essays addresses numerous crucial issues. These include: whether educational regimes relate to other facets of contemporary India society; the extent to which they facilitate the values and ideals enshrined in the Constitution and in policy goals; and the implications of the differential impact of educational regimes on different social groups in India.
Through detailed ethnographic studies, the book takes a close look at the processes that occur during schooling…. The authors probe the `educational black box` with interesting results…. This contribution is particularly important given that educational policy within India is framed in conjunction with many international aid agencies…. Schools are perceived to be a defence against social inequality. Yet, far from being `social equalizers`…, they are mechanisms which reproduce social inequality. That`s food for thought.
