Education is being transformed in ways that students, parents, and citizens in each country experience and see. What's more difficult to understand are the reasons for the changes and how reforms in one country relate to the global picture. Though justified under the banner of educational opportunity, "free market" reforms are creating more inequality in education. As the essays in the book (pictured at the left) I have co-edited with Mary Compton explain, the reforms aim to prepare workers all over the world to compete with one another in a global marketplace for dangerous, poorly paid jobs. Our book shows that the project to take the "public" out of public education is global - and so must be successful resistance.
