Education in the Market-place: A Case of Contradiction.
Cole, Martin
Educational Review, v44 n3 p335-43 1992

Contradictions appear between education in newly democratized eastern Europe and in Britain, where the government advocates free market but centralizes control of curriculum and instruction. Other contradictions lie between state education as social control and consumer choice. (SK)
