DR. ALOK KUMAR PANDEY, KAVITA PANDEY

Abstract

The relationship between education and politics is important; they are players in the same game and the two are interdependent. One of the main purposes of formal education is to inspire students to take a greater interest in civic responsibility. This means teaching them about political issues and encouraging them to take a position on those issues. In so doing, politics and education become linked together, so it’s important to understand how one affects the other. As we know that Education and politics have a symbiotic relationship with each other. However, when one tries to overpower the other, there are negativities that set in. The main aim of this paper is an analysis of the relation of these two. This paper explores this relationship based on secondary sources i.e. several research articles, newspapers, websites etc.
