Digital protest and activism in reaction to the consequences of
neoliberalism in public education have become a global phenomenon
in the second decade of the 21st century, emerging in countries
such as the US, UK, France, and Israel. Teachers, parents, and
other stakeholders in education are increasingly using digital
media in their protest and activism efforts, yet these efforts have
hardly been investigated to date.This book addresses this gap and
employs an empirical exploration of the way in which Internet-based
protest activity concerning public education issues is constructed,
mobilised, and carried out. In doing so it provides key insights
for the study of educational politics in the digital age. It shows
how digital media is used by teachers and parents to create a
bottom-up politics, spanning a common divide in the study of
education politics between the macro (policymaking) and the micro
(school) levels. The authors propose a novel taxonomy of uses of
social media by digital activists, and argue that Internet-based
social mobilisations develop different patterns of use of social
media, based on the lived experience of their members and potential
supporters. Finally, the book situates the rise of digital activism
in education within the neoliberal restructuring of national
education systems and the rise of neoliberal discourse of
competition, budget discipline, and measurable achievements. The
authors highlight three cases of Internet-based mobilisations in
Israel, in which teachers and parents successfully affected public
education policy. By providing a case-study driven analysis of
digital protest and activism in education, this book will prove an
invaluable text for researchers, leaders and practitioners in the
field of education policy and comparative education.
