Governing Through Data in Under-Resourced Schooling Contexts: A Critical Systematic Review of Datafication, Algorithmic Governance, and Power Relations in Global South Public Education
Subhan Javed, Muhammad Younas
Background: The datafication of public education (the conversion of institutional and pedagogical practice into digital data for algorithmic processing) is reconfiguring how schools are governed, how teachers are evaluated, and how students are understood as institutional subjects. Although this transformation is most advanced in Global North contexts, it is accelerating rapidly in resource-constrained Global South public schooling systems that differ fundamentally from those in which extant governance frameworks were conceived. Objectives: This critical systematic review synthesises empirical and theoretical literature published between 2015 and 2025 to examine how datafied and algorithmic governance infrastructures reshape power relations in under-resourced Global South public education systems, and to identify the mechanisms by which colonial knowledge logics are reproduced through educational datafication. Methods: Following...
