Labouring to learn

towards a political economy of plantations, people, and education in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is hailed internationally for its high standards of education despite rather modest levels of economic growth. Much of this achievement has been underpinned by economic revenues generated by the labours of the plantation community whose own achievements in education fell well below the national norm. In recent years, however, educational participation among this community has increased. Why, and how?

A day in the life of Vickneswari provides the starting-point for an analysis of educational progress among the Tamil plantation community.
