Abstract

ABSTRACT Through a comparative analysis of policy texts from UN organisations and scholarly work since the 1990s this paper examines how mothers are portrayed in simplistic terms, as educated thus beneficial for their daughters’ schooling, or deprived of education causing detriment to their daughters’ future prospects. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with mothers from rural Pakistan, these global comparisons are brought into conversation with local narratives showing how mothers’ aspirations facilitate daughters’ educational opportunities. It is argued that mothers’ subjectivities have a potential to inform global policy discourses for investigating the aspirational and transformational potential of mothers in contexts of material and social constraint. The paper proposes an informed approach to educational research and policy making which seeks to understand the processes surrounding mothers’ support for their daughters’ education.

母亲和她们女儿的教育:全球和本地愿望的比较

摘要:通过对20世纪90年代以来联合国组织和学术研究的政策文本的比较分析，本文探讨了母亲是如何被简单化地描述为受过教育从而有利于女儿上学的，或被剥夺教育从而损害女儿未来前景的。通过对巴基斯坦农村母亲的半结构化采访，这些全球比较与当地叙述进行了对话，展示了母亲的愿望如何促进女儿的教育机会。有人认为，母亲的主体性有可能为全球政策话语提供信息，以调查母亲在物质和社会约束背景下的愿望和变革潜力。本文提出了一种教育研究和政策制定的知情方法，旨在了解母亲支持女儿教育的过程。

期刊介绍： This international journal of educational studies presents up-to-date information with analyses of significant problems and trends throughout the world. Comparative Education engages with challenging theoretical and methodological issues - and also considers the implications of comparative studies for the formation and implementation of policies - not only in education but in social, national and international development. Thus it welcomes contributions from associated disciplines in the fields of government, management, sociology - and indeed technology and communications - as these affect educational research and policy decisions.
