Marketisation And Privatisation Flashcards
Education reform act 1988
-introduced marketisation
-resulted in cream skimming
-privileged skilled choosers, disconnected local choosers
League tables
show how many kids passed their exams in a school and how many get good grades, increased competition (marketisation)
Creation of OFSTED
set up to inspect schools and make sure they were doing a decent job
Formula Funding
funding based on numbers of pupils – which encourages schools to raise standards to increase demand
Reforms to assessment
pupils had to sit SATs at 7, 11 and 14 and GCSEs at 16
Open enrolment
parents are allowed to select multiple schools to send their children too, but only specifying one as their ‘first’
Specialist schools
new labour allowed schools to specialise in a subject ie. music schools and mathematic college (and religious schools)
Expansion of Universities
new labour introduced interventionist policies trying to increase the number of people going to uni
increase in academies
coalition gov:
-schools classed as outstanding by ousted could apply to become academies without a sponsor
-failing schools made into sponsored academies
creation of free schools
set up by teachers parents or religious groups and don’t have to teach the National curriculum
-gov hoped this would increase choice in disadvantaged areas
Endogenous and Exogenous privatisation
Endogenous privatisation means the schools are privatised from within. Rather than the greater role of private companies (exogenous privatisation) the impact of marketisation policies has led to schools operating increasingly in the manner of private companies
Multi Academy trusts
an academy trust that operates more than one academy school
