Education and Elitism discusses polemical debates around privilege, private schools, elitist universities, equal access to education and underlying notions of fairness. These types of elitism (and their counter-positions) are used as reference points throughout the book's analysis of successive educational themes. The overarching question that runs through the book is about the future of education worldwide: how can schools and universities tread the tightrope between access and quality?This book investigates the philosophical positions that characterize elitism and anti-elitism to establish three types: meritocratic, plutocratic and cultural.
The book covers critical questions related to the sociology and philosophy of education with particular focus on contemporary disruptors The conclusion leads to suggestions that bridge the worlds of elitism and egalitarianism worldwide.
