The idea of democratic schooling is seriously attacked by the marketisation of education. New policies of educational restructuring emphasise accountability and close links between school and industry, where schools become targets of constant evaluation and competition. This book challenges such policies through analyses of their negative consequences for social justice and democracy. It explores the effects of restructuring on life in schools and presents analyses of how social, gender and ethnic differences are dealt with in an educational environment.
