Based on extended, intensive fieldwork in an Australian high
school, Challenging the System illuminates issues faced on a daily
basis by teachers and educational administrators in many parts of
the world. Forsey highlights the tensions arising between
neo-liberal emphasis on individual school communities as the engine
for competitive excellence in education, and the need for those
responsible for running public education to maintain some degree of
equity across the whole system. He shows that reforms based purely
on market forces are not only undesirable, they are imposible to
achieve. Governments do not want to lose control of highly
significant cultural and political systems, nor can they stray too
far from at least appearing to support the egalitarian ideals
purportedly underpinning modern democracies.
