This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My research examines how the education system, tasked with shaping citizens and their relations to one another and to the state, works in the gendered and socio-religiously segregated terrain of Pakistan, to (re)fashion women's experiences of political and social citizenship. I examine the production of a 'Pakistani' identity with respect to three main signifiers - religion, gender and nationalism - among the young girls of Pakistan. To do so, I conducted curricular and educational policy content analysis and ethnographic fieldwork in Quetta, Pakistan. While using critical ethnographic stance, I demonstrate how schools (re)produce and (re)configure Pakistani girlhood. On the one hand, textbooks and teachers construct the 'ideal' Pakistani Muslim woman by restrictively locating her in school and private, domestic spaces. On the other, female students and teachers contest such (re)presentations of the ideal by strategically employing narratives of belonging - whether to family, kin, class or ethnic, religious and national groups. In recording this ongoing contestation, my dissertation offers new insights into the co-construction of citizenship and belonging in schools and engages broader debates about how young women are or are not incorporated into community, national, and international politics and polities.

Book excerpt: The Citizen Report Card - one of the social accountability tools was employed in this study to seek and gather citizens' response over the quality of education provided to their children in public schools. The implemented CRC discussed factors like availability, access, quality and efficiency of the education along with the prevalence of corruption and mal-governance, and the overall satisfaction of the people of the corresponding communities. Citizen's responses against the selected indicators were obtained through comprehensive structured questionnaires/ score cards and analyzed. The findings of the CRC will serve the dual purpose of spreading awareness among the common people to hold public authorities accountable and help the service providers to look over the prevailing flaws and to change and streamline existing policies for an improved public service delivery.

Book Synopsis Constructing Modern Asian Citizenship by : Edward Vickers
Download or read book Constructing Modern Asian Citizenship written by Edward Vickers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many non-Western contexts, modernization has tended to be equated with Westernization, and hence with an abandonment of authentic indigenous identities and values. This is evident in the recent history of many Asian societies, where efforts to modernize – spurred on by the spectre of foreign domination – have often been accompanied by determined attempts to stamp national variants of modernity with the brand of local authenticity: ‘Asian values’, ‘Chinese characteristics’, a Japanese cultural ‘essence’ and so forth. Highlighting (or exaggerating) associations between the more unsettling consequences of modernization and alien influence has thus formed part of a strategy whereby elites in many Asian societies have sought to construct new forms of legitimacy for old patterns of dominance over the masses. The apparatus of modern systems of mass education, often inherited from colonial rulers, has been just one instrument in such campaigns of state legitimation. This book presents analyses of a range of contemporary projects of citizenship formation across Asia in order to identify those issues and concerns most central to Asian debates over the construction of modern identities. Its main focus is on schooling, but also examines other vehicles for citizenship-formation, such as museums and the internet; the role of religion (in particular Islam) in debates over citizenship and identity in certain Asian societies; and the relationship between state-centred identity discourses and the experience of increasingly ‘globalized’ elites. With chapters from an international team of contributors, this interdisciplinary volume will appeal to students and scholars of Asian culture and society, Asian education, comparative education and citizenship.
Book Synopsis (Re)Constructing Memory: Textbooks, Identity, Nation, and State by : James H. Williams
Download or read book (Re)Constructing Memory: Textbooks, Identity, Nation, and State written by James H. Williams and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book engages readers in thirteen conversations presented by authors from around the world regarding the role that textbooks play in helping readers imagine membership in the nation. Authors’ voices come from a variety of contexts – some historical, some contemporary, some providing analyses over time. But they all consider the changing portrayal of diversity, belonging and exclusion in multiethnic and diverse societies where silenced, invisible, marginalized members have struggled to make their voices heard and to have their identities incorporated into the national narrative. The authors discuss portrayals of past exclusions around religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, as they look at the shifting boundaries of insider and outsider. This book is thus about “who we are” not only demographically, but also in terms of the past, especially how and whether we teach discredited pasts through textbooks. The concluding chapters provides ways forward in thinking about what can be done to promote curricula that are more inclusive, critical and positively bonding, in increasingly larger and more inclusive contexts.
Book Synopsis Forging the Ideal Educated Girl by : Shenila Khoja-Moolji
Download or read book Forging the Ideal Educated Girl written by Shenila Khoja-Moolji and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program for monographs. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In Forging the Ideal Educated Girl, Shenila Khoja-Moolji traces the figure of the ‘educated girl’ to examine the evolving politics of educational reform and development campaigns in colonial India and Pakistan. She challenges the prevailing common sense associated with calls for women’s and girls’ education and argues that such advocacy is not simply about access to education but, more crucially, concerned with producing ideal Muslim woman-/girl-subjects with specific relationships to the patriarchal family, paid work, Islam, and the nation-state. Thus, discourses on girls’/ women’s education are sites for the construction of not only gender but also class relations, religion, and the nation.
Book Synopsis Education and the UN Sustainable Development Goals by : Kim Beasy
Download or read book Education and the UN Sustainable Development Goals written by Kim Beasy and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the complex relationship between education and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and highlights how important context is for both critiquing and achieving the Goals though education, given the critical role teachers, schools and curriculum play in young people’s lives. Readers will find examples of thinking and practice across the spectrum of education and training sectors, both formal and informal. The book adds to the increasing body of literature that recognises that education is, and must be, in its praxis, at the heart of all the SDGs. As we enter the third decade of the 21st century, we have a clear understanding of the wicked and complex crises regarding the health of life on our planet, and we cannot ignore the high levels of anxiety our young people are experiencing about their future. Continuing in the direction of unsustainable exploitation of people and nature is no longer an option if life is to have a flourishing future. The book illustrates how SDGs are supported in and by education and training, showcasing the conditions necessary to ensure SDGs are fore fronted in policy reform. It includes real-world examples of SDGs in education and training contexts, as well as novel critiques of the SDGs in regard to their privileging of anthropocentrism and neoliberalism. This book is beneficial to academics, researchers, post graduate and tertiary students from all fields relating to education and training. It is also of interest to policy developers from across disciplines and government agencies who are interested in how the SDGs relate to education.
