As globalisation transforms the organisation of society, so too is
its impact felt in the classroom. Katharyne Mitchell argues that
schools are spaces in which neoliberal practices are brought to
bear on the lives of children. Education's narratives, actors and
institutions play a pivotal role in the social and political
formation of youth as workers in a capitalist economy. Mitchell
looks at the formation of student identity and allegiance -as well
as spaces of resistance. She investigates the transition to
educational narratives emphasising flexibility and strategic global
entrepreneurialism and examines the role of education in a broader
political project of producing new generations of economically
insecure but compliant workers. Scrutinising the impact of an
influx of new actors, practices and policies, Mitchell argues that
public education is the latest institution to embrace the
neoliberal logic of 'choice' - pertaining to schools, faculty, and
curricula - that, if unchallenged, will lead to further incursions
of the market and increased socioeconomic inequality.
