This book presents a comparative ethnographic understanding of
government and low-fee private schools in India within the context
of ever-increasing privatization and commercialization of education
and growing presence of non-state actors. Drawing on rich empirical
data, the book provides an ethnographic account of a government and
a low-fee private school in Hyderabad, India and explores life in
these two distinct spaces through the lens of culture. While
private schools catering to the poorer sections have been
proliferating, little is known about how these low-fee private
schools operate, how choices and negotiations unfold, the classroom
discourses, subjective meanings of different stakeholders and the
kind of education provided in these schools vis-a-vis the
government schools. The book focuses on the educational
experiences, schooling choices, processes, and voices of the
children and teachers at these schools to reflect on how school
culture influences the quality of education. Based on intensive
fieldwork and qualitative data, the book provides contextual
insights of what exactly happens inside the schools and classrooms
of two contrasting schooling provisions in India and understand the
world views of different stakeholders as they negotiate their daily
lives. The book will be of interest to students, researchers, and
teachers of education, sociology of education, childhood studies,
urban education, and teacher education. It will also be useful for
education policymakers, educationists, education professionals, and
those working on private schooling in India.
