Explore the escalating educational inequality in India with ‘Poor Students: Market-Oriented Education Reforms’. This insightful book by K. Ravi Kumar delves into how independent India’s development has inadvertently left behind marginalized communities, while the affluent access high-quality private or foreign education. The author critically examines historical administrative errors and market failures in education, arguing that the current market-driven economy hasn’t been matched by adequate marketization in the education sector. Discover how the Right to Education Act 2009, despite its intentions, faces challenges due to flawed design and a lack of market principles. Drawing on grassroots experience and field surveys, this interdisciplinary work proposes marketization of education services as a viable reform to address disparities in equity, quantity, and quality.
