Critical race theory （CRT） in education is an academic framework that examines how race and racism intersect with educational systems, policies, and practices. Originating from legal studies, CRT has been applied to education to highlight systemic inequities and challenge dominant narratives that perpetuate racial disparities. In the context of India, this theory can be used to analyze local educational products and initiatives, such as textbooks, digital learning platforms, and community-based programs, which often reflect or address caste, class, and regional biases. For instance, Indian educational products like the NCERT textbooks or e-learning apps such as BYJU\“S may incorporate elements that either reinforce or critique traditional hierarchies, making CRT a valuable tool for fostering inclusive and equitable learning environments. |
