Understanding Education and Economics explores the multiple ways in
which the field of education and schooling has become closely
aligned with economic imperatives and interests, and the impact of
this on learning and teaching. In particular, the increasing
influence of economic arguments, economic ideologies and government
involvement in education have made apparent that there is a need to
reflect and talk about economic influences and trends in education.
Drawing on the expertise of educationalists around the world, the
book articulates key debates and theoretical perspectives which can
give both students and staff across several courses within the
study of education a framework for discussing and analysing how
economics defines and shapes the nature and purposes of education.
The chapters offer discussions and reflections on key issues,
including: the historical developments that led to the creation of
a formal education system in England and Wales; the ways in which
neoliberalism underpins education, including the coercion of
education to serve economic needs; the economics of the university
as an institution. Addressing philosophical, sociological,
historical, psychological and social issues in education and
encouraging readers to pose questions about the nature of
education, this book is a valuable resource for students and staff
alike and will allow them to broaden perspectives on what education
could be for, and what it should be for.
