Abstract
This chapter explores major discourses surrounding the problematic relationship between education, social justice and social justice policies, against the background of comparative education research. Social justice is an attempt to answer the following fundamental question: How can we contribute to the creation of a more equitable, respectful, and just society for everyone? The chapter analyses and critiques the overall interplay between education, social justice and the state. By focusing on the competing discourses of education and social justice, the chapter examines and evaluates critically both the reasons and outcomes of education reforms, policy change, with respect to social justice, and providing a more informed critique of the Western-driven paradigms of social justice and inequality.
