    • educational policies
      • policies that improve equality
        • tripartite system 1944.. comprehensive schools.. pupil premium.. national curriculum.. changes to school admisions code
          • no success.. diff to implement policies that intervene with fam an  home life... socialisation takes place so early in the home ... tackling pooverty alone wont reverse the issue.. policies  like FSM may make some chuildren feel theres stigma.. schools may misuse funds
      • selection policies
        • schools prefer students from m/c homes
        • they work in three ways
          • selection by ability
          • selection by aptitude
          • selection by faith
        • argments for  selection by ability ... benefits high flyers sa they can be challenged in top set classes no students held back.. more social cohesion fewer social divisions if everyone is educated together... mixed ability teaching can have a positive impact on all abilities espescially the less able .. reduces risk of labelling so students have better self esteem
        • arguments against selection by ability .. some students may be late developers academically by then they may have already missed out  on the top school
      • admissions policies
        • All state schools must follow the School Admissions Code. This is sothat all types of students have equality of access to all schools.Open enrolment – parents can apply for their children to go to anyschool in any area, if the school is not full they must be accepted.In 2013-2014 there were 50,000 appeals by parents who did not gettheir first choice of school for their child – the good schools are oversubscribed.
        • Admission policies in over subscribed schoolsPriority goes to children in care, those with brothers or sisters at theschool already, catchment area (best schools tend to be in middleclass areas – fair?) or faith.
        • Covert selection – forbidden but some schools find ways to ‘cherrypick’ the best students. E.g. giving parents the impression that theschool is really middle class and therefore will not meet the needs oftheir child, making forms and literature difficult to understand,expensive uniforms, not promoting in poorer neighbourhoods, findingout information from religious leaders about families.
      • globalisation and education policies
        • Globalisation has impacted on education policy in two ways– marketisation and privatisation.
        • Education is a multi billion pound global market. Hancock(2014) – education exports from Britain in 2012 were worth18 billion – e.g. resources and private education/uni forstudents from abroad.
        • International comparisons data – PISA- programme forinternational student assessment and TIMSS – Trends inInternational Mathematics and Science study, PIRLS –Progress in international reading literacy study.
        • Countries then get put in to league tables. In 2012 –England came out 26th in Maths and 23rd in reading. Thisthen leads to changes in policies…
      • privatisation and policy
        • Endogenous – Privatisation IN education-Schools manage themselves like independent businesses.-Very few external controls.Funded by the number of students they have = competition fornumbers.Staff pay and contracts let by the school = growing use ofunqualified staff
        • Exogenous – Privatization OF educationRefers to privatization outside of the education system – profitmaking businesses.School services like training, transport, maintenance, cleaning, HR,IT staff.Chains of academy trusts which manage a group of schools.School inspection companies which run on behalf of OfstedBranding and marketing for schools.Running examination systems e.g. Pearson Edexcel - provideacademic qualifications in over 70 countries.
        • pros of privitization......More business like so more efficientMore choice for parentsProfit made can improve failing schools
        • cons of privitization.... Money can be drained from the educationsystemProfit making management might cherry pickeasy to improve schools.Schools can go out of business and leave an areawithout a school.
      • marketization and policy
        • Independence for schools – run like businesses.Competition – compete for studentsChoice – parents have a choice where they wantto send their child – league tables to inform them.Parentocracy – ‘parent power’ – parents havemore rights and choices – education based on therights and wealth of parents rather than academicability of children.
        • Types of state funded schools in 2015 Specialist schools (subject) Grammar Community Free Foundation and trust schools Faith City technical colleges Special schools Academies
      • policies by specific governments
        • National literacy and numeracy strategies – LabourGovernment – 1998-2010 Primary schools did 2 hoursof Maths and English every day.
        • Coalition Government slimmed down the nationalcurriculum to ‘Essential Knowledge’ which MichaelGove said other nations were passing on to theirchildren.
        • Raising the academic entry requirements for traineeteachers in 2012 – this was after comparisons withFinland.
