Conceptual Framework Education System and the Educational Policy Discourse in Pakistan Women and the State in Pakistan: A History of the Present Educational Discourse and the Constitution of Gendered Subjectivities in Pakistan

This book challenges the uncritical use of the long held dictum of the development discourse that education empowers women. Situated in the post-structuralist feminist position it argues that in its current state the educational discourse in Pakistan actually disempowers women.
