Nation-state education systems organized to deliver citizenship values fail to rectify the fracture between their quest for multicultural participation versus the promotion of conformity within a single “national” identity. Education reform can only be achieved by substituting the concept of multi-cultural, with inter-cultural citizenship, thereby transforming the nation-state into a pluralist state-nation. The state-nation can facilitate South-South dialogue while promoting alternate notions of “modernity,” “development,” and “globalization.” De-linking education from the nation-state, creates the potential for a greater “reform” and “education” from a social justice perspective.
Neville Gustad Panthaki is a Doctoral Candidate in the Department of Social Justice Education at OISE, whose degree is being pursued in collaboration with CIDE (Comparative International Development Education) and South Asian Studies.
