The overarching question that runs through the book is about the future of education worldwide: how can schools and universities tread the tightrope between access and quality?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book investigates the philosophical positions that characterize elitism and anti-elitism to establish three types: meritocratic, plutocratic and cultural.

The conclusion leads to suggestions that bridge the worlds of elitism and egalitarianism worldwide. The book covers critical questions related to the sociology and philosophy of education with particular focus on contemporary disruptors to education such as the COVID-19 pandemic and protest movements for social justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an attempt to offer readers an objective overview, this book\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ewill be an excellent compendium for students, academics, and researchers of the sociology of education, education policy and comparative education.
