Description
Education in India concentrates on exam performance, and consequently, the teacher in India often acts as a disseminator of textbook material, as well as maintaining class discipline and respect.
Low-income Female Teacher Values and Agency in India explores low-income female teachers' speech and syntax as a crucial resource in which agency, freedom, and empowerment are enacted within a strong oral tradition in India.
It demonstrates how this socially and economically marginalised group overcomes prejudices to develop relational agency and embed their authority. The book illustrates how they establish their values and why their beliefs shape attitudes towards aspiration, achievement, and freedom of choice.
It concludes with recommendations for policy and improvements to reflective practice in teaching.
