The paper argues that this litigation has been part of broader struggles over education policy, inequality, and the capture of educational institutions by political and bureaucratic forces; and that the extent to which litigation has been used and led to policy changes has depended significantly on the nature of, and access to, the court system; the presence of support structures for legal mobilization; the ideology of the courts and judges; and the roles and willingness of litigants to pursue redress. Broadly, litigation has served the interests of the poor and marginalized, although gains have largely come through better access to education, while issues of improving quality have been less prominent. 2018-05-23T19:34:31Z 2018-05-23T19:34:31Z 2018-05 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/430461526912602601/Using-courts-to-realize-education-rights-reflections-from-India-and-Indonesia http://hdl.handle.net/10986/29858 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 8448 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper East Asia and Pacific South Asia India Indonesia
