Publisher's Synopsis
"The Politics of Education: Power, Policy, and Progress" explores a timeless truth: education and politics are inseparably intertwined. From ancient times to the modern era, the structure, content, and access to education have been shaped by political power, while education, in turn, has shaped societies, challenged norms, and fueled progress. The classrooms, lecture halls, and campuses of today are more than spaces for learning-they are arenas where ideological battles are fought, futures are imagined, and power is negotiated.
This book is born out of a pressing need to critically examine the role of politics in shaping education systems and the profound impact education has on political landscapes. Whether it is a government drafting national curricula, communities debating the language of instruction, or student activists demanding reform, the intersection of education and politics influences every level of society.
