Description

The Business of Education offers a comprehensive examination of how educational policy networks shape American schooling and influence global education systems. This critical analysis explores the roles of private philanthropic foundations, for-profit companies, and major political actors across diverse contexts including standardised testing, college preparation, juvenile detention centres, special education, arts education, teacher evaluation systems, education of undocumented immigrants, college faculty preparation, and financial aid. Network charts throughout most chapters illustrate the complex relationships between key players in education policy, revealing patterns of influence and power distribution. Part of Routledge's Sociocultural, Political, and Historical Studies in Education series, this book provides readers with essential insights into who shapes educational decisions and how economic and political interests intersect with educational practice.
