Educational Reform in New Zealand: Contesting the Role of the Teacher.
Gordon, Liz
International Studies in Sociology of Education, v2 n1 p23-42 1992
Examines the repositioning of teachers in the education system, state, and civil society, caused by recent educational reform in New Zealand. Argues that the reforms have aimed to remove teachers from their professional role, reducing them merely to classroom teachers. Concludes that, in response, teachers have built up new democratic alliances within civil society. (DK)
