Comparing Neo-Liberal Projects and Inequality in Education.
Apple, Michael W.
Comparative Education, v37 n4 p409-23 Nov 2001
Neoliberalism claims that privatization, marketization, uniform standards, and accountability--some important dynamics surrounding globalization in education--increase choices and quality in education. However, numerous studies show that the market has consistently devalued alternatives; increased the power of dominant models; and exacerbated racial, gender, and class differences in access and outcome. Context-specific effects are emphasized. (Contains 60 references.) (TD)
