Survival of the fittest? The importance of context-sensitivity in education reform
My ongoing fieldwork on agrarian politics in Sri Lanka is teaching me many things that are not directly related to, but heavily condition what happens in agriculture. I'm learning how the dynamics of everyday domestic life impact agrarian decisions: whether or not the credit taken for agriculture purposes is always actually spent on it; how intimate relationships impact farming activities (who is entering into or refusing labour exchange relations with whom, for instance); and how decisions about children - their nutrition, education, prospects - condition decisions people make about what to cultivate and when, among other things. It is in this context that I noticed many things about Sri Lanka's school education system as it unfolds in the peripheries. My aim in today's piece is to make the case for more inclusive consultative processes and context-specific responses in education reform, in light of these realities.
