Opis

This volume examines how the public and private domains in school education in India are informed and mediated by current market realities. It moves beyond the simplistic dichotomy of pro-state vs pro-market factors that define most current debates in the formulations of educational reform agendas to underline how they need to be interpreted in the larger context.
