Understanding the contemporary India and education is a compulsory aspect of study for teachers in teacher education curriculum. To understand the contemporary India and its relationship with education, there is the need to understand the nature of Indian society, its cultural pluralism, languages, demography and diversity of Indian living. Achieving unity in diversity is the main goal of Indian society. It is therefore, we believe and realise the diversity as strength and not weaknesses. The educational practices in India are the reflection of its rich democratic principles. In the recent days of implementation of Right to Education Act (RTE Act, 2009), Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiskha Abhiyan (RMSA) and National Education Policy (NEP 2020) are the examples of the implementation of its constitutional obligation for the nation.
Catering to all of the above, the present Course highlights the historical, sociopolitical, philosophical and issue based trajectories of Indian School Education. This Course will enable students and teachers to engage with studies on Indian society and education, acquire the conceptual tools of sociological analysis and gain a hands-on experience of engaging with diverse communities, children and schools. The major focus area of the Course is: diversity, inequality and marginalisation in the society and its implications for Education and Policy frameworks for Public Education in India in general and Secondary Education in particular.
