This volume presents an interdisciplinary framework to map out
contemporary educational studies in India. Based on conceptual
tools, quantitative methods and ethnographic accounts drawn from
extensive fieldwork, it addresses emerging discourses on
educational policies, their operation in the everyday functioning
of institutions and actual practices in teaching and learning.
Individual chapters discuss the intersectionality in the current
educational system of region, gender, class, caste and minorities.
With comparative perspectives and case studies from across states,
including under-studied rural and urban regions of India, the book
explores a wide range of issues affecting the educational system,
including socioeconomic and gender inequalities; the educational
status of tribal settlements in the hinterlands and their
respective urban areas; the marginalisation of minorities;
challenges in accessing educational avenues and choices; and the
model for imparting vocational education and training. It navigates
complex sites of discrimination and exclusion in the institutional
spaces of the educational system and assesses the consequences of
market dynamics and ideological undercurrents. Presenting
first-hand information from the field, it evaluates educational
policies, practices and research; investigates challenges and
failures; provides suggestions and fosters critical thinking for a
knowledge society. The findings in this book will be of interest to
researchers, scholars and teachers of education, economics,
sociology, urban education and the politics of education, as well
as of public policy, governance and development studies. It will
also be useful to research institutions, policymakers,
educationists, social scientists, education professionals, and
governmental and non-governmental bodies working on education.
