  • Global capital, neo-liberalism, and the growth of educational inequality
    Hill, Dave
    This article locates the facts, concepts and policies relating to equality and inequality in schools and in the wider education system within the wider policy context of neo-liberalism. This ... emphasises privatisation and competitive markets in education and in social and welfare policy more generally. Neo-liberalism is also a global phenomenon. Similar restructuring of schooling and education to that in England and Wales - the development of a system characterised by exclusion rather than inclusion - has taken place across the globe. The article then examines the effects of neo-liberal policies in increasing inequalities and makes a number of theoretical criticisms of neo-liberalism. Thus, in order to explain what is happening to schooling and education in England and Wales - it is placed within a theoretical and a global context. The article concludes by constructing a critique of neo-liberalism and looking forward to critical transformative education for equality.
