Abstract
The aim of the study is to uncover the interactional patterns between „micropolitics‟ and „education quality‟ in two rural schools of Karnataka. The patterns thus obtained are used to critique existing policies relating to „quality frameworks‟ for rural schools as envisaged in The Right to Education Act of 2009 through Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. This ethnographical exploration used micro political perspective on schools as descriptive and analytical lens to understand the manifestation of quality parameters at the village level. Study through the analysis of „quality‟ and „micro political‟ interactional pattern signals at the stabilisation of „systemic inefficiency equilibrium‟ of rural schooling system which has been strategically crafted through existing educational bureaucracy, caste hierarchies and brahminical value systems. Strategies related to enhancing the quality seems to be conceived in a vacuum, disconnected, unreal to the underprivileged, disadvantaged communities in rural educational settings. Thus, the paper brings out the inadequacies in quality frameworks of Right to Education Act in ensuring effective participation to positively influence the long-term growth of the children in rural society.
