Reproduction and Contradiction of Cultural and Political Ideologies in Education
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The role of education in the reproduction of the social relations of production, control and division of labour cannot be negated. School systems may reproduce class and status relations. It is in this context that this paper makes an attempt to look at wider political ideologies and cultural struggles that influence the school curriculum and textbooks. It aims to bring out holistic understanding of how various political and cultural ideologies prevalent at various levels of society perpetuate the educational system. The paper also highlights that schools need not be looked at as mere sites of reproduction but that of resistance as well. Keywords: Social and cultural reproduction, ideology, hegemony, dominant classes, resistance.
