Description

Looks at the mechanisms by which public education systems in the UK, the US, and in NZ, are being privatised. Focuses on the role of private providers of professional development and policy advice (e.g., Cognition Education and Core), and the companies that sell tests and preparation materials for National Standards (e.g., Pearson). Asks whether privatisation is more interested in the interests of children or in making money.
