Assess the effects of policies 'designed to create and education market' in the UK
This question is all about marketisation and parentocracy - whether it has been a success? And whether it is a good thing?
In your introduction you should explain the concept of marketisation - what is it, when did it come about?
In part 1 of your essay you need to explain how Governments have attempted to make the education system more competitive. These are the things you need to consider in part 1:
- Parentocracy
- League tables
- OFSTED
- Specialist schools
- School open days
In part 2 you need to EVALUATE the marketisation of schools - has it been successful? is the education system competitive? is the marketisation of school a good thing?
Think about the following things:
- The 'myth of parentocracy'
- Cultural capital
- Legitimisation of inequalities
