Democracy, Neoliberalism, And School Choice: A Comparative Analysis Of India And The United States, Eddie Boucher
Democracy, Neoliberalism, And School Choice: A Comparative Analysis Of India And The United States, Eddie Boucher
Journal of Global Education and Research
India and the United States are the largest democracies in the world, and since the 1990s, both countries have implemented neoliberal economic reforms into most of their social institutions—including their education systems. Even though both countries have long-established commitments to public education as a means for socio-economic equitability for all citizens, in the wake of neoliberal reforms both countries have made significant moves to privatize education. The justification for school privatization was based on policies that redefined democracy in economic terms, and the result is a very undemocratic marginalization for the majority of students who do not have the means …
