School choice
The launch in Australia of a government website that compares all schools on the basis of student performance in standardized tests illustrates the extent to which neoliberal policies have been entrenched. This paper examines the problematic nature of choosing schools within the powerful political context of neoliberalism. It illustrates how key elements of the neoliberal worldview are normalized in the day-to-day practices of schooling and how c…
Teaching within and against the circle of privilege
Three decades of neo-liberal education in western countries, particularly English-speaking countries, have not served most children well. The evidence is mounting that the neo-liberal experiment has been a failure on many grounds, not least because of its deprofessionalizing effect on teachers. The disciplinary effects of neo-liberal policy frameworks on education remain powerful, but there are numerous teachers and schools who have resisted the …
Problematizing neighborhood renewal
In this paper I argue that values of democracy and social justice in education would seem to have been displaced in recent decades by managerialist norms that are linked to the presumed needs of business and the economy of the nation. I am concerned that conceptualizations of the nature and purpose of education, and of the roles of teachers, are restricted in this neoliberal climate and policy framework. I argue that there is an urgent need to re…
Globalization and educational change
The tendency in education writing on globalization has been to examine the congruence of educational policies in western societies and the international effects of global governance of education by powerful transnational institutions such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the European Union. The authors tend to identify massive changes in approaches to educational governance, including the establishment of a broadly…
ICT and educational (dis)advantage
Because access to new technologies is unequally distributed, there has been considerable debate about the growing gap between the so‐called information‐rich and information‐poor. Such concerns have led to high‐profile information technology policy initiatives in many countries. In Australia, in an attempt to ‘redress the balance between the information rich and poor’ by providing ‘equal access to the World Wide Web’ (Virtual Communities, 2002 Vir…
Steering futures
This paper reports findings from an enthographic study of educational restructuring in an Institute of Technical and Further Education (TAFE) in Victoria Australia. Educational restructuring is analysed as a process of institutional redesign and theorized in relation to recent debates in institutional theory concerning the nature of institutional change. The review distinguishes between hyperrational approaches to institutional redesign based upo…
Sociological Analysis and Education Management
In this paper I take issue with the claim of Ozga (1992) that because of the poor quality of many recent texts on education management, and their lack of a sociological perspective, they are not proper material for analysis in the British Journal of Sociology of Education. I argue that sociological analysis of such texts is an urgent priority because they have gained credibility among education practitioners and provide a spurious legitimacy to n…

Quality’ schooling, conservative education policy and educational change in Australia
In Australia and elsewhere, during the past decade or more, educational debate has been characterized by renewed conservative discourse. This paper addresses conceptions of ‘educational quality’ that are employed in the debate and their implications for educational reform in the 1990s. In analysing the conservative reform agenda, the relationship between education, the economy and the state is briefly examined. In particular, the significance of …
Continuity and Change in Catholic Schooling
Research Traditions, Ideology and Critical Ethnography
Class, Catholicism and Education
The history of Catholic education in Australia has been characterised by the relationship between Catholic schools, Catholic consciousness, and social mobility. The purpose of this paper is to place the current, specific circumstances of a single Catholic school, Christian Brothers College (CBC) in Newburyport, within this historical perspective. The paper is concerned with the policy of the Irish Christian Brothers of education for social mobili…
