Summary:

In this groundbreaking critique of neoliberalism in schooling and education, an international cast of education policy analysts, educational activists and scholars deftly analyze the ideologies underlying the global, national and local neoliberalisation of schooling and education. The thrilling scholarship that makes up Global Neoliberalism and Education and its Consequences exposes the machinations, agenda and impacts of the privatising and 'merchandisation' of education by the World Bank, the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), biased think tanks, global and national corporations and capital, and the full political spectrum of Neoliberal governments. Including such topics as the increasing polarization of racialized and gendered social classes as a consequence of neoliberal policies, the role and shape of markets and education in the era of globalised Capitalism, the effects of the profit motive in higher education, the impact of the Heritage Foundation in the USA, and even a critical evaluation of education in Cuba-readers are sure to find startling insight and provocative arguments throughout Global Neoliberalism and Education and its Consequences.

Klappentext:

In this major critique of neoliberalism in schooling and education, the contributors to this volume identify the types, levers, extents and impacts of neoliberal policies globally on education workers rights, conditions and lives; on social class, race and gender and other forms of equity, social justice and access; and on democracy, democratic control and critical thinking in education.  This truly groundbreaking book exposes the machinations, agenda and impacts of the merchandisation of education by the World Bank, the GATS, (General Agreement on Trade in Services), Conservative Think-Tanks, Global and National Corporations/ Capital, and Neoliberal (whether conservative or revised social democratic) Governments.
