Neoliberalism, Inequality and Education

Inequity by Design
This book investigates the impact of neoliberalism on inequity in education systems around the world. Leading scholars examine how the adoption of neoliberal economic policies has resulted in the marketisation of education systems, where education is regarded as a private rather than public good.
This book investigates the impact of neoliberalism on inequity in education systems around the world. Leading scholars examine how the adoption of neoliberal economic policies has resulted in the marketisation of education systems, where education is regarded as a private rather than public good.

Bringing together an array of contributions from Asia, Europe and Oceania this book examines how educational opportunities are distributed and how levels of educational inequality may have been impacted by neoliberal policies. Contributing authors emphasise how neoliberalism’s impact on educational inequality differs depending on the existing education system, the political context and the importance of education within its respective network. Highlighting the importance of social justice, chapters also analyse education policies designed to alleviate inequity, noting how inequality in access to education has implications for broader society.

Neoliberalism, Inequality and Education is an essential resource for students and academics in education, economics, politics and sociology, as well as educators and policy-makers involved in education systems.
