Serrano-Velarde, Kathia; Krucken, Georg – European Journal of Education, 2012
Since the early 1990s, European higher education has been undergoing drastic changes with regard to the organisation and governance of academic work.

Yudof, Mark – Trusteeship, 2011
Public universities are microcosms of the broader trends at work in the society, and they have been for decades. From the wide range of students they educate to the transformative research they develop to their ameliorative impact on local communities, public universities provide a litmus test for the country's ever shifting demographics, mores,…

FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, 2011
The threat of the National Health Service being privatised has led to such strong opposition that the Government has been forced to backtrack; and yet, through the development of "Academies" and "Free Schools", our education system is being stealthily privatised, right under our noses, without so much as a word from politicians…

Rudd, Tim – Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, 2013
This paper offers a critical analysis of the UK coalition Government's educational computing policies.

In examining the related…

Levy, Daniel C. – Higher Education Policy, 2013
No topic in private higher education study has attracted as great attention globally as has growth. This is appropriate as private growth has soared to nearly a third of the world's total higher education enrolment. But while private growth continues to be the dominant trend, important declines in private shares have emerged. These must be…

Mallett, Christopher A. – Children & Schools, 2013
Privatized service delivery within Medicaid has greatly increased over the past two decades.

This article focuses on just one program within Medicaid, school-based services for…

Carnoy, Martin; Froumin, Isak; Loyalka, Prashant K.; Tilak, Jandhyala B. – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education and Educational Planning, 2014
Because higher education serves both public and private interests, the way it is conceived and financed is contested politically, appearing in different forms in different societies. What is public and private in education is a political--social construct, subject to various political forces, primarily interpreted through the prism of the state.…

Harvey, James – Educational Leadership, 2012
According to James Harvey, the scale of the 2011 effort to privatize public education through vouchers and charters is "staggering," representing the culmination of a 30-year assault on public service in general and public education in particular. At a time when states are staring into the abyss of bankruptcy, he notes, public funds intended for…

Lichman, Keith – FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, 2014
David Blunkett's "Review of Education Structures" for the Labour Party recognises that there is a chaotic and unsatisfactory situation in the English education system but its response is ambiguous and self-contradictory. Its proposals seek to normalise and regulate rather than remedy a system in which lack of democratic accountability,…

This review essay examines recent texts by Nancy Welch and Tony Scott, both of which use embodied activism as a starting point for their inquiries.
