- New Right and Education
- Similarities with functionalism
- State can't meet people's needs
- Some naturally more talented
- Education is meritocratic and should socialise pupils into shared values
- In 1980s education not achieving this as it was run by the sate who use power to impose their views
- Local consumers (pupils, parents) have no say
- When results are poor they are not answerable to their consumers and lower standards of achievement leading to a less qualified workforce
- Marketisation
- Schools run like a business
- Promoting leads to more students leading to more funding
- Increase choice and competition
- Schools should have financial control
- Raise standards
- Chubb and Moe
- Look at relationship between autonomy and school effectiveness
- Autonomy = financial control
- School effectiveness = better results ad effectiveness
- Found strong relationship between school organisation type and achievement
- The more financial control =more effective schools respond to market forces and parental control
- 2 Important roles for the state
- Impose framework of schools that they have to compete e.g. Ofsted gives information to parents to make informed choices
- Ensures schools transmit shared culture e.g. National Curriculum guarantee socialisation into single cultural heritage
- Gerwitz et al
- Marketisation benefits MC as have information and resource for choices e.g. moving closer to better school
- Ensures schools transmit shared culture e.g. National Curriculum guarantee socialisation into single cultural heritage

- New Right say should be choice but impose National Curriculum
- Gives choice
- Similarities with functionalism
