Education policies often reflect broader societal values such as equity, inclusivity, and meritocracy. These policies are shaped by the cultural, economic, and political contexts in which they are developed. For instance, a focus on universal access to education signifies a societal commitment to reducing disparities and promoting human capital development. Conversely, merit-based policies may uphold competition and excellence but can also exacerbate inequalities if not implemented thoughtfully. By analyzing educational policies, we can better understand how society prioritizes various ideals, ensuring that educational frameworks align with the overall goals of national development and social justice.
