Routledge Contesting Neoliberal Education - Routledge Studies Series

This comprehensive scholarly volume examines how neoliberal policies have transformed education systems through privatisation, marketisation, and managerial control, whilst eroding democratic principles and educational equity. Written by an international team of scholars and activists, the book analyses the ideologies and mechanisms driving these changes across education sectors. It provides critical evaluation of resistance movements at local, national, and global levels, offering readers insights into how communities, educators, and organisations are challenging market-driven approaches to education. The Routledge Studies in Education, Neoliberalism, and Marxism series positions this work within ongoing debates about educational policy, worker rights, and access to quality education. Essential reading for students, educators, policymakers, and anyone concerned with understanding contemporary education reform and the alternatives being developed worldwide.
