Publisher's Synopsis
Education policy in England is constantly evolving and becoming increasingly incoherent and it is therefore becoming harder to keep up with, and make sense of, all the changes. This bestselling book looks at the role of the UK as a social laboratory for global education policy. Covering key concepts, it then examines new areas, including:
Global education policy mobility
Edu-business and philanthropy as policy actors
Marketisation of education
Increase in performance gap
Poverty and austerity
Impact of COVID-19 on schools and in education policy
New forms of governance
This extensively updated fourth edition by the key author in the field will maintain its place as the most important text on education policy and makes essential reading for all students and anyone interested in education policy more generally.
