Understanding Educational Frameworks: Analyzing the Impact of Privatization on Right to Education (RTE)
Keywords:
Privatization, education, globalization, marginalized communitiesAbstract
Education is an essential instrument for the emancipation of humankind. It plays a significant
role in social and cultural development. Education provides social, economic, cultural and
political rights to the deprived and marginalized communities. Eminent philosophers of
education such as John Dewey, Emile Durkheim, one of the founding fathers of sociology, and
B.R. Ambedkar, the father of the Indian constitution perceived education as a vehicle for social
transformation and as a means of individual and community emancipation. The liberalization,
privatization and globalization policies in the Indian education sector have challenged the
constitutional right to education. This paper aims to explain the impact of privatization and
globalization on the education system in India. It also explains the privatization of education
and its impact on women and marginalized communities. Further, this paper explains changes
in primary and higher education in the post-implementation period of privatization and
globalization policies.
