Opis

Schooling in Europe is being transformed by a new policy orthodoxy affecting all aspects of the school. Privatization, decentralization, and business focused curriculum reform are all on the rise. The authors consider the impact and conflict of such changes on schooling in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

Recenzje

'...providing a comprehensive and coherent overview of recent policy developments in education and their impacts across Europe...The text is both informative...and illuminating in its synthesis of the different elements of the neo-liberal re-ordering of schooling'. - Jenny Ozga, Journal of Education Policy
