Routledge School Education in India: Market, State and Quality - Routledge

This Routledge volume provides a comprehensive examination of how public and private sectors shape school education in India through market dynamics and policy frameworks. Moving beyond traditional pro-state versus pro-market debates, the book contextualises educational reform within broader economic and social realities. The chapters deliver both conceptual and empirical investigations into India's growing private school sector, critically analysing claims made by private providers regarding educational provision and quality outcomes. Designed for academics, policymakers and educators, this reference work offers essential insights into the intersection of market forces, state policy and educational quality in the Indian context.
