Neoliberalism has had a major impact on schooling and education
in the Developing World, with social repercussions that have
affected the salaries of teachers, the number and type of potential
students, the availability of education, the cost of education, and
more. This edited collection argues that the privatization of
public services and the capitalization and commodification of
education have resulted in the establishment of competitive markets
that are marked by selection, exclusion and inequality.
The contributors - academics and organization/social movement
activists - examine aspects of neoliberal arguments focusing on
low- and middle-income countries (including Chile, Mexico,
Argentina, Venezuela, China, Pakistan, India, Turkey, Burkina Faso,
Mozambique and South Africa), and suggest where they fall short.
Their arguments center around the assumption that education is not
a commodity to be bought and sold, as education and the capitalist
market hold opposing goals, motivations, methods, and standards of
excellence.
