conflict theory of education
Definition(s)
- Conflict theory posits that conflict is a fundamental part of the social order, and that schools are a critical site in the reproduction of social inequality, particularly class conflict and racial stratification. Schools are not meritocratic; individual talent and hard work do not necessarily guarantee success. [Source: Sociology of Education: An A-to-Z Guide; Conflict Theory of Education]
