Beschreibungen

<p>This book pays attention to education in India as part of several overlapping stories developed along different axes:&nbsp; stories of dissent, contestations, appropriation and social action. It&nbsp;historicises&nbsp;the enterprise of formal education by paying attention to the numerous policy shifts. Further, it&nbsp;theorises&nbsp;the education policy discourse by analysing the ways in which education is increasingly being shaped by international/transnational knowledge production, actors and norms. &nbsp;Focusing on the cultural politics of education policy production, circulation and translation across different contexts, the book revisits some of the long-standing and unresolved debates on social reforms, justice, nationalism and mobility. &nbsp;Evolution of ideas such as mass education, national education, adult literacy and education through public-private-partnerships showcase the momentous shifts in education policy over the course of last century.&nbsp; Ideas, institutional and economic arrangements, administrative formulations and frameworks for implementation make frequent appearances in the cultural as well as political reading of education policy. In a departure from the traditional policy research, this work sees policy as socially and culturally constructed; connected to questions of power, context and struggle; and part of a number of processes at large.&nbsp;</p>
