Description

Explore the profound impact of data in modern society with Governing by Numbers: Education, governance, and the tyranny of numbers. Published by Routledge, this book examines how social science researchers view the increasing role of numbers in our daily lives. From big data and national test results to output and performance statistics, numerical data is now a central part of media debates and government management. This text looks at how governments use numbers to manage and attempt to improve populations. It examines the economy of numbers that organizes and drives many aspects of our existence. By critically addressing how numbers are deployed in educational governance, this work provides essential insights into the ways we are represented and organized in a data-driven world. It is a necessary read for those interested in how statistics and big data shape the structures of power and social organization.
