Education, capabilities and social justice
Abstract
The capability approach, as developed in the work of Amartya
Sen, provides a very useful way to think about social justice
and its particular component, gender equality in education. The
capability approach is concerned with evaluating social policy,
including education, without ignoring individual aspirations or
dictating social bench marks. Sen’s work on capabilities developed
out of a critical engagement with welfare economics. Therefore
the article, firstly, introduces the reader to the capability
approach’s template, secondly, employs this template to provide
arguments for articulating gender equality and equity in education
taking a critical stance towards the welfare economics
based approach to evaluating social policy in education, thirdly,
it also illustrates capabilities approach’s contribution to debates
on social justice.
