raising standards
-
studies that disagree
gerwitz- doesnt raise standards for all. middle class parents were better able to navigate school choice due to higher cultural and economic capital. privleged skilled chooser, semi-skilled chooser, disconnected chooser. school choice increases inequality as schools with better resources are accessed by mainly affluent families, raising standards only in wealthy areas.
illich- formal education solely focused on outcomes not education for the value of educations sake. de-schooling of society and development of learning webs allowing for students to study thinks they actually want to learn from people who actually want to teach.
bourdieu- only raises standards for privileged students who have the capital to participate. cultural capital.
davis and moore- certain subjects are prioritised and this neglects those who may be allocated into roles with vocational skills. role allocation.
equality of opportunity
policies for
-
sure start (blair/labor/social democrat)- centres that aimed to provide early support for children from the most deprived backgrounds to help develop them socially, physically and intellectually. componsatory education to improve their educational outcomes
city academies (blair/labor/social democrat)- targetted failing schools in disadvantaged urban areas to raise achievement in low-income and ethnic minority students. gave schools greater autonomy with curriculum and direct government funding
pupil premium (cameron and clegg/coalition/social democratic)- provides extra funding to schools for disadvantaged children (especially those qualifying for FSM or in care). improves access to resources and incentivising schools to take in and support poorer students.
studies against
wragg- education remains a system of social division not social mobility. claims education is like a victorian railway, students are placed on fixed routes determined by their social classes. the system directs wealthy students towards elite institutions and the working class towards lower tier education. access to top educational pathways remain largely reserved for the privledged.
gerwitz- the poorest in society get the worst of the educational provision. privileged skilled choosers, semi-skilled choosers and disconnected choosers.
-
murray- providing equality of opportunity will make the education system for those who are gifted worse. too many students in higher education therefore devaluing degrees and lowering standards.
competition, diversity and choice
policies for
-
academies (cameron and clegg/coalition/new right) schools graded as outstanding could now apply for academy status/ to become part of a multi-academy trust. more freedom and funding
-
new vocationalism (thatcher/tory/ new right)- youth training scheme(yts) offer one year course to NEETs providing training and income with benifits taken if training was refused. NVQs provided on the job training in trade jobs.. GNVQs were vocational qualifications offered in sectors such as health and social care that blended practical and theoretical lessons
studies against
green- vocational training does not prepare students for work. emphasise good attutude and discipline over skill acquision therefore reinforcing class divisions.
gerwitz- poorest in society still get the worst educational provision. privileged skilled choosers, semi-skilled choosers, disconnected choosers.
neu- academies are not really providing diversity, they are a way of cutting costs. the national education union argues that academisation is driven more by financial motives than educational improvement. less spent on teacher salaries and student support, often unqualified teachers and dont lead to higher attainment.
millar- real choice is an illusion as middle class parents ultimately benefit. school choice is an illusion for poorer families who lack financial means to move or travel for better schools. structural barriers such as limited close options, high house prices and confusing admission processes make it hard for disadvantaged families to access good quality education.
