What Education? Imperative of Change

Abstract

Once the reach of education remains circumscribed only by its functional role in the formation of human capital, which, by definition, has little significance beyond its instrumentality in production for market and profit, it comes under the direct purview and concerns of manufacturers, producers and corporate houses. It is hardly surprising that a rising trend of privatisation in the educational sector should follow as its sacrosanct corollary. In the current dominant perspective, the role of ‘education’ is just to transform human beings each born with a bundle of potential skills into ‘human capital’.
