In this incisive critique, Dr. Siddiqui explores the intersection of education, social justice, and political economy in Pakistan. Drawing on the capabilities approach of Amartya Sen and the emancipatory vision of Paulo Freire, the book exposes the structural inequalities that hinder educational freedom. It critiques the persistent disparities across class, gender, and region, and advocates for a democratic and inclusive vision of education. Through analytical clarity and moral urgency, the book challenges policymakers and educators to rethink education not merely as a transmission of knowledge, but as a transformative process.
