ABSTRACT
Critical educational theory has always dealt with questions of social class. Treating education as a mechanism reproducing class division, hierarchy and inequality has been one of main motives behind most critical and radical writings on education. Questioning this role of education, and particularly Higher Education, in the reproduction of class relations has been not only a theoretical tenet but also a political position in struggles regarding access to education, funding and curricula – struggles that demanded reforms and changes in education that would undermine the reproduction of class divisions.
