Hi Jean – Interesting point, but is framing this as a feature of “western” education necessary? There are public and private schools in China, in fact all over Asia, in Brazil, Mexico, the UAE, non-Anglo Europe … And social class is a universal feature of social organisation, I suggest. Are there many countries where class is not institutionalised through different types of schools? One of the big ideas in Emancipatory Education (originating with Paulo Freire in Brazil) is challenging class reproduction in schooling, isn’t it?

What about the private vs. public Aussie (and other Western countries’) schooling? Can’t think of any other space in which class is legitimitized and institutionalized by schooling…
