Neoliberalism, Inequality and Education

Edited by Jenny Chesters

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This book investigates the impact of neoliberalism on inequity in education systems around the world. Leading scholars examine how the adoption of neoliberal economic policies has resulted in the marketisation of education systems, where education is regarded as a private rather than public good.
