This paper provides a critique of neo-liberal political economy of education. It is argued that neo-liberal ideology trades off democracy against 'economic efficiency'. However, the consequence of the application of neo-liberal principles to education is that overall standards of education are likely to decline, thereby creating the conditions for a low skilled, low morale workforce. It is suggested that this outcome is consistent with the Neo-liberal creation of a low wage low technology economy. On the basis of the critique, an alternative education system concerned with meeting the aims of an education for a democratic, economically sophisticated, society is sketched. |
