This volume asks a fundamental question: What is education? It is not only about literacy and grades and rankings, nor merely about knowledge creation. A common theme that runs through the collection is the recognition that education has to teach us to think and question. If this is the imperative, education must take cognizance of disparities in incomes and social status, the heterogeneity of culture, religion, language and lived reality
