Description

Education and Elitism explores the fundamental tensions between access and quality in schools and universities worldwide. This Routledge book examines polemical debates surrounding privilege, private education, elite universities, and fair educational access through a philosophical lens. The author identifies three distinct types of elitism - meritocratic, plutocratic, and cultural - alongside their counter-positions, using these frameworks to analyse how educational institutions navigate the complex balance between inclusivity and excellence. By investigating underlying notions of fairness and the philosophical foundations of elitist thought, this book provides readers with critical perspectives on one of education's most pressing contemporary challenges. Ideal for academics, educators, policymakers, and students interested in educational theory, sociology, and social justice.
