globalisation

• Privatisation → Global Market

  Endogenous Privatisation:

  • А - C economy
  • educational Friage
  • parentocracy
  • competition
  • privatisation (academies, free schools)
  • marketisation - education reform act 1988 - margaret thatcher 

  Exogenous privatisation:

  • supply teaching
  • senior officials working for private sector businesses “insider knowledge”
  • educational software companies eg Quizlet
  • cola-isation of schools (selling brands)
  • Pearson - multi-national company, owning textbook publishers + Edexcel (American company)
• international comparisons -> global market + media

  • national literacy + numeracy strategies (by new labour)
  • progress and attainment 8
  • tougher standards of gcse (for grade 9) + a level
  • raising academic entry requirements for teacher trainees from 2012 (derived from Finland, world leader in international tables)
• Ethnocentrism -> increased ethnic diversity by movement of people 

  • more diverse students and staff (Asian and Afro-Caribbean) in british education 
  • pressures schools to alter schooling to avoid institutional racism from offering an ethnocentric curriculum 
  • eg having lesson time being made around muslim prayer times - allows muslims to not miss learning and succeed 
• Jobs -> changing economy + global market

  • since 1980s, male traditional jobs (steel, iron, ship making, mining, engineering) faced a decline = post fordism
  • caused by globalisation of the economy, manufacturing industry was relocated to developing nations to take advantage of cheaper labour
  • Mitsos + Browne - this led to an ‘identity crisis in men’
