Globalization, a Colonial Legacy, and Marginalization in the Education System of Pakistan
Thu, April 8, 12:00 to 1:00pm EDT (12:00 to 1:00pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Postcolonial Studies and Education Roundtable SessionsAbstract
Globalization of education is a contested debate of the current era. The colonial legacy operates their power and hegemony in formerly colonized countries through International Organizations (IOs) like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and other development agencies. Along with development funds they also sell their neoliberal and capitalist policies and practices that promote the privatization and standardization of education.
A post-colonial lens enables to see how globalization in education has a political agenda that promotes the cultural and knowledge imperialism of former colonizer countries. In this paper, I will discuss how globalization is a colonial legacy that transforms western neoliberal educational policies in developing countries like Pakistan.
