Riassunto

Education and the Process of Change looks at the role that education has played in the reconstruction and revitalization of Indian society over the last four decades. Four broad themes are examined: Socio-cultural and political constraints in the field of education; economic, scientific and technological policies as they relate to education; strategies to overcome these constraints; and social change and cultural revitalisation.

Recensione:

`the book is not only rich with theoretical and practical issues but also in respect of the discussions on the complex relations between education, social change and development... This book is a valuable contribution towards understanding the gains in Indian education in a changing social context.' - Journal of Educational Planning and Administration

`The gap between declared objectives and actual performance in many areas of education is clearly shown in many of the essays in Education and the Process of Change.' This book... is a collection of essays which examine some of the constraints (social, cultural and economic) which affect the quantity and quality of education available to various sections of Indian society... A good deal of very useful statistical material is assembled here... This book should be welcomed as a very useful and scholarly addition to the literature on the educational problems of India' - Indian Book Chronicle

`Considering the paucity of good literature on the sociology of education in India today, it is refreshing to read this collection of 14 papers... The book is a serious attempt by scholars with different interests to examine some of the significant problems that exist in educational practice' - Contributions to Indian Sociology
