On the capitalisation of schools in England

  • Glenn Rikowski Glenn University of Northampton
Palavras-chave: privatização

Resumo

This article outlines some ideas that can be used in a project of educational subversion that seeks to relate particular educational phenomena to the constitution of capitalist society. These phenomena are elements of what I have previously (RIKOWSKI, 2003b; 2005c) called the ‘business takeover of schools’. Indeed, I have never really provided a sustained account of what I mean by this term, and how it relates to other concepts such as privatisation and commodification. Thus, I shall do so now in the context of certain developments in the schools system in England – which has been an interest of mine since 1997.
