Social reproduction strateg y. A case study on public policies, hidden curriculum and educational ghettos in Bogota
Main Article Content
Abstract
In recent decades, education policies in Bogotá have revolved around inclusion and democratization, being schools first and then universities. This paper brings about the analysis performed on public education policies by Alliance for Higher Education, taking as a case study a particular institution of Bogotá using a methodology of multimodal ethnography. The issue is approached from the “field theory” by Pierre Bourdieu. We underlined the stratification of agents in the Bogota area and studied the relationship between social stratification and public policies (as hidden curriculum). Here competencies play an important role as ideology behind those policies, which generates educational ghettos distributed throughout the city.
