What is Neoliberalism and How Does it Apply to Education

An essay of 2000 words evidencing an emerging understanding of neoliberalism.

Critically discuss your emerging understanding of neoliberalism explaining the three principles, and how they are a part of the neoliberalisation of education.

Remember it is an essay so you must present it appropriately. Importantly you need to include an introduction and summarizing conclusion and reference list. The main body of the essay should include definition and discussion of:

a) Define the market principle of neoliberalism using academic scholarship. Using appropriate articles from the Guardian/TES/THE, describe how education is being marketised;
b) Define the self-interest principle of neoliberalism using academic scholarship. Using appropriate articles from the Guardian/TES/THE, describe how the self-interest principle can be seen to be working in education;
c) Define the laissez-faire principle of neoliberalism using academic scholarship. Using appropriate articles from the Guardian/TES/THE, describe how the self-interest principle can be seen to be working in education.

As developing level 5 learners, you will be expected make a judgment about what constitutes “appropriate articles”. You are advised to consider for suitability: the relevancy, length, breadth and the author of the articles. For example, you may select just two articles and you judge these to be “appropriate” because they are each several pages long covering a range of relevant themes and written by key scholars.

THIS IS A REVISION!
