Education for Industrial and "Postindustrial" Purposes.
Taylor, Alison
Educational Policy, v11 n1 p3-40 Mar 1997
Examines educational stakeholders' positions on educational reform in Ontario, Canada, during two periods of capitalist crisis. The first period (late 1800s) involved efforts to establish industrial education programs in Ontario public schools. The second period (1970 onward) involves more business-led reform activities. Compares business groups' mobilizing campaigns and rhetoric, and suggests implications for policy interventions. (53 references) (MLH)
