In the recent
past, it has realised specifically in the third sector that employing
social innovation as an essential condition in order to achieve long
lasting social transformation and development. Education as one among
many sectors that have opened it up for such transmission where
employing social innovation emerges as key to reach out to the most
neglected and excluded sections from either policy or market
interventions. Despite state’s intervention, it found that still
millions of children are out of school due to lapses in policy
implementation and neoliberal intrusions through marketization of school
education. As a result, universalisation of elementary education became
as an elusive goal to poor and marginalised sections where state
obtained constant pressure by the corporate sector to withdraw from
education sector that also led convince in providing quality education.
At this juncture, the role of third sector organizations viewed as quite
remarkable in providing education to poor and marginalised sections
children in the far-flung areas. Since social innovations by third
sector organisations have limited recognition at both policy approach
and research, it needed broader understanding of their significance as
change makers in achieving universal school education. Further, the
notion of social innovation in key sectors such as education has given
less importance at both research and policy framework. With this
background, the present paper tried to understand the essence and
probability of social innovative practices by third sector organisations
such as government school adoption programme by Isha Vidya in achieving
universalisation of elementary education in India. It also exasperated
to what extent state needed third sector organisations collaboration and
reinforcement in the state policy implications to reach goal of
universal access of school education. Cite This Article As: Chittoor P (2015). Social Innovations in School Education: A Study of Third Sector Organisations. Inter. J. Polit. Sci. Develop. 3(11): 461-469
