In our article, we first interrogate the prevailing monolithic concept of the State, and introduce the concept of 'governmentality' originated by Michel Foucault. We then explore how governmentality has historically been linked with education, and specifically with the evolution of 'civilizing the rabble', inculcating deference, and more recently with the development of the Scandinavian 'Caring State'. Finally, we explore the changing tasks of education in a society increasingly characterized by risks and uncertainty, and explore the nature of the social contracts which could correspond to the new conditions.
