ABSTRACT
Education has been the means of social empowerment. Policies guided by comprehensive rationality could not serve the cause of social empowerment as policies guided by technical efficiency are no guarantee of addressing the injustices inflicted upon individual or group. Building upon the justice framework of public policy in education, it is necessary to enhance the capabilities of individual/group for a public policy to have social empowerment effect. A public policy that is impartial, objective and that stands public scrutiny and has capabilities enhancing effect can only remove injustices. The purpose of the chapter is to develop a model of social empowerment through public policy based on justice framework.
