Tony Blair's 1996 pre-election speech put 'education, education,
education' firmly at the centre of the policy stage. Education has
since become a key political issue and a major focus of media
attention. It is also seen as a crucial factor in ensuring economic
productivity and competitiveness. But whose interests are at the
centre of this shift in education policy? And how could things be
if we thought about education differently? In this enthralling
book, Stephen J. Ball guides us through the flood of government
initiatives and policies that have been introduced over the past 20
years, including beacon Schools, the academies programme, parental
choice, foundation schools, faith schools and teaching standards.
He looks at the politics of these policy interventions and how they
have changed the face of education, 'joining up' policy within a
broader framework of initiatives, turning children into 'learners'
and parents into 'consumers'.Ball's sociological approach to
analysing and making sense of current policies and ideas around
education uncovers issues of class, choice, globalisation, equality
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. This exciting series offers a guide through some of today's
most hotly contested policy issues by distinguished leaders in the
field. Each book untangles current policy debates, looking behind
the rhetoric and spin to discover what is at the core of
contemporary political agendas. The authors present their own
perspectives and make recommendations for what could - or should -
be our priorities for future policy reform.
