The book progresses systematically, beginning with a theoretical framework and historical context, before delving into the core themes of education funding, tuition costs, and macroeconomic influences. It uses empirical evidence, including large-scale datasets, government reports, and interviews, to support its arguments. By connecting education economics to sociology and political science, the book provides a holistic perspective.
The increasing cost of tuition, especially at the tertiary level, is explored in depth, along with its implications for student debt and access for low-income individuals. This offers new perspectives through rigorous empirical analysis matched with real-world insights.
