Education and Elitism discusses polemical debates around privilege,
private schools, elitist universities, equal access to education
and underlying notions of fairness. The overarching question that
runs through the book is about the future of education worldwide:
how can schools and universities tread the tightrope between access
and quality? This book investigates the philosophical positions
that characterize elitism and anti-elitism to establish three
types: meritocratic, plutocratic and cultural. These types of
elitism (and their counter-positions) are used as reference points
throughout the book's analysis of successive educational themes.
The conclusion leads to suggestions that bridge the worlds of
elitism and egalitarianism worldwide. The book covers critical
questions related to the sociology and philosophy of education with
particular focus on contemporary disruptors to education such as
the COVID-19 pandemic and protest movements for social justice.
With an attempt to offer readers an objective overview, this book
will be an excellent compendium for students, academics, and
researchers of the sociology of education, education policy and
comparative education. It will also be of interest toschool
leaders, university provosts and professionals working in
curriculum design.
