Education in India is heavily focused on exam performance, leading teachers to play a significant role in disseminating textbook material and maintaining class discipline and respect. In this book, we delve into the speech and syntax of low-income female teachers as a vital resource that empowers them and enables them to overcome social and economic marginalization. Through their oral traditions, these teachers establish relational agency, embed their authority, and define their values. We explore how their beliefs shape attitudes toward aspiration, achievement, and freedom of choice. The book concludes with recommendations for policy changes and improvements to reflective practice in teaching to enhance the educational outcomes of low-income female teachers and promote greater equity in the education system.
