Autonomy, Accountability and Social Justice provides an account of
recent developments in English state education, with a particular
focus on the 'academisation' of schooling. It examines how head
teachers, teachers and others working in diverse education settings
navigate the current policy environment. The authors provide
readers with insight into the complex decision-making processes
that shape school responses to current educational agendas and
examine the social justice implications of these responses. The
book draws on Nancy Fraser's social justice framework and her
theorising of neoliberalism to explore current tensions associated
with moves towards both greater autonomy for and accountability of
state schooling. These tensions are presented through four case
studies that centre upon 1) a group of local authority primary
schools, 2) an academy 'chain', 3) a co-operative secondary school
and 4) an alternative education setting. The book identifies the
'emancipatory' possibilities of these approaches amid the complex
demands of autonomy and accountability seizing English schools.
Informed by a consideration of market parameters and social
protectionist ideals, this examination provides rich insights into
how English schools have emancipatory capacity. Autonomy,
Accountability and Social Justice makes a major theoretical
contribution to understandings of how the market is working
alongside the regulation of schooling and the implications of this
for social justice. By drawing on the experiences of those working
in schools, it demonstrates that the tensions associated with
autonomy and accountability within the current education policy
environment can be both productive and unproductive for social
justice.
