Education is a continuing key political issue for the UK
government. It is seen as a crucial factor in ensuring economic
productivity and competitiveness, in generating social mobility and
tackling social inequality - but are these goals either feasible or
compatible? In this fully updated edition of this bestselling book,
Stephen J. Ball, a leading author in the field, guides us through
the flood of government initiatives and policies of the past 20
years, including the Academies programme, parental choice, Free
schools, National Curriculum and teaching standards. He looks at
how these policy interventions have changed the landscape and
meaning of education, turned children into 'learners' and parents
into 'consumers', and played their part in the re-formation of
contemporary governance. This authoritative and accessible book
uses Ball's sociological approach to the analysis of current
policies and ideas around education to address issues of class,
choice, globalisation, race and citizenship, as well as the
conflicting needs of children and families on the one hand and the
economy and the state on the other.
