Education And Society

The book uniquely emphasizes the connections between education and disciplines like sociology, economics, and political science, providing a holistic view of how social norms, economic policies, and governmental actions shape educational opportunities. The book takes a structured approach, beginning with fundamental concepts and progressing through case studies from various nations. It analyzes how education influences social mobility through mechanisms like access to higher education and labor market returns, while also exploring education's role in fostering innovation and productivity for economic development.

By drawing on empirical evidence and qualitative research, Education and Society offers an evidence-based analysis of challenges and opportunities, ultimately proposing policy recommendations for more equitable and effective education systems.
