- Define New Right
- a conservative political view
- State cannot meet peoples needs and people should meet their own needs through a free market
- favour marketisation
- Competition between schools and consumers will bring greater diversity, choice and efficiency in schools
- Chubb and Moe: State education has failed in the US
- Not created equal opportunity and has failed the needs of disadvantaged groups
- Inefficient as it fails to produce pupils with the skills needed by the economy
- Private schools deliver higher quality education because they are answerable to consumers
- Market System: to allow consumers to shape schools to meet their own needs and improve quality and efficiency
- Each family would be given a voucher to spend on buying education from a school of their choice
- Two Roles for the State
- OFSTED
- a framework within which pupils compete
- By inspection reports and league tables.. state gives parents information to make an informal choice
- Shared Culture
- a national curriculum, guarantees schools socialise pupils into a single shared heritage

- Gewirtz and Ball: competition between schools benefits the middle class
- they can use their cultural and economic capital to access the best schools
- the real cause of low educational standards is not state control but social inequality and inadequate funding
- Conflict between the state imposed national curriculum and free choice for parents
- Marzists: education does not impose a shared national culture...
- .....all it does is impose the culture of a dominant minority ruling class and devalues the culture of working and ethnic classes
- Gewirtz and Ball: competition between schools benefits the middle class
- Define Neoliberalism
