Marxism, a socio-economic theory developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, provides
a critical lens through which to examine the structures and dynamics of capitalist societies.
It posits that societal power struggles and class conflicts are inherent outcomes of capitalist
modes of production, wherein the bourgeoisie (the ruling class) exploits the proletariat (the
working class) (Harvey, 2014). One key institution within this framework is the school,
which, according to Marxist theory, functions not merely as a place for imparting knowledge
but as an instrument designed to perpetuate existing class structures and maintain power
imbalances (Apple, 2017). This essay will provide a brief overview of Marxism, including
concepts such as class consciousness, false consciousness, and hegemony. We will delve
into Marxist and neo-Marxist perspectives on how schools function to maintain the status
quo and perpetuate capitalist ideologies.
