Choice, Pathways and Transitions Post-16: New Youth, New Economies in the Global City
This internationally appealing book is based on a two-year case study of a group of young people as they move through their final year of mandatory schooling and into their first year of post-16 experience. It looks at their choices, the market behaviour of local education and training providers and those who help and advise these choices. The authors show that recent and current political policies for post-16 education disadvantage, marginalise …
Social exclusion: Exclusion from school
This paper explores recent policy approaches aimed at addressing school exclusions. It begins by exploring some of the ways in which social exclusion is interpreted. The limitations of ‘weak’ versions that work indirectly to ‘blame’ the excluded and work ‘on’ this constituency rather than taking a broader view which encompasses those who exclude are critically evaluated. This is done through locating the debate in two UK settings: the context of …
Collaborative solutions or new policy problems: Exploring multi-agency partnerships in education and health work
Since coming to power in 1997, two successive Labour Governments in the UK have actively attempted to tackle the problem of what they have called 'social exclusion'. Their argument has been that social problems, which are overlapping and inter-related, need 'joined-up' policy solutions. For example, poor housing and low income can contribute towards and exacerbate lack of success in schooling and need to be tackled simultaneously. The Labour Gove…
In All Our Interests: Internal marketing at Northwark Park School
In all the current work on education competition and the ensuing growth in marketing and promotion, one critical aspect has become sidelined, i.e. the marketing work that educational providers employ to shore up internal 'leakage' at key points of transition. Across all phases of the maintained UK educational sector, there are various possible and actual points of transition, and therefore potential losses as well as gains to be made from an inte…

Space, Work and the 'New Urban Economies
This paper is based on two ESRC research studies involving longitudinal engagement with a small cohort of young people from 1995-99. The studies "followed" these young people from their last year in secondary school through three years of postcompulsory education, training, & (un)employment. Each of the young people was interviewed several times about their "career" & life "choices" & family & social lives. The paper presents the "time-space biog…
Young lives, diverse choices and imagined futures in an education and training market
In the UK, policy developments in vocational and further education have created a market in post-16 education and training. This paper reports on an Economic and Social Research Council study and one small cohort of young people entering and moving through one such urban market. They enter with very different learning identities, aspirations and motivations, and their 'educational inheritances' prepare them differently for participation. Some you…
Promotion, Persuasion and Class-taste: Marketing (in) the UK post-compulsory sector
Post-16 providers in the UK now offer a wide range of courses and training in order to respond to the expanded, diversified and 'non-traditional' post-16 market. School leavers are invited to 'choose' from a range of courses and pathways which are being provided in a variety of post-16 educational institutions. These providing institutions are in competition with one another and 'need' the students as their funds are contingent upon successful re…
Race’, Space and the Further Education Market Place
This article is about the spacialisation of ‘race’ and the racialisation of space. It is based upon the analysis of provider and ‘consumer’ strategies in one post‐16 education and training market. The ‘race thinking’ of colleges in their attempts to recruit ‘particular kinds of students’ is set over and against the ‘race thinking’ of students in their choice of college. The recruitment of minority ethnic students is constructed by some providers …
Whose ‘learning’ society? A tentative deconstruction
In this paper we want to examine the construct of the Learning Society in its economic and social context in the UK. We will argue that the policy rhetoric which makes up the current discourse of the ‘learning’ society is both powerfully normative and unhelpfully reductionist and that it displaces and masks issues of inequality. The discourse of the Learning Society has conflated the achievement of increased levels of participation for 16‐ to 19‐…
