| Question | Answer |
| Education Reform Act 1988 - Marketisation Of Education | National Testing - Good because you see progress Bad because of pressure because if you fail/pass you are labelled from an early age. National Curriculum - Good because if a child moves schools, they will not struggle. Also if the child doesn't know what they want to do in the future, they have learnt a range of things. Bad because it doesn't motivate children or teachers. Parentocracy (Parent Power) - Parents have more rights and choice where they want there child to go to school. Its more about how much money the parents have other than effort and ability. Ofsted Target Setting |
| Problems with Education Reform Act 1988 | Middle class parents are calling the shots of their child's education. Old school is left with poorer pupils so the school will have a bad reputation and it will keep getting worse. More independence for schools - Good because you an spend the money how you want. School diversity - Good because it enables choice. League Tables - Good because you can choose a successful school. Bad because the school at the bottom will have a bad reputation and close down, |
| Comprehensive System 1965 | 11+ abolished All children went to a secondary school regardless of ability BUT still reproduced class inequality because of streaming, labelling and comprehensivisation. |
| Butler Education Act 1944 | Tripartite system: 11+ Exam Setup to promote meritocracy but it had the opposite effect. It reproduced class inequality because two classes of children were tutored towards different types of schools. Also produced gender inequality Every school not has governors who make the bid decisions like pay and exclusions. Parents now have the offer to be a parent governor. |
| Ball and Whitty | Argue that marketization reproduced inequality because publishing league tables means schools with good results are more in demand with parents and this means they can be selective. Schools can therefore select high achieving pupils who are more likely to be middle class. |
| Problem with Marketisation Policies | Middle class parents know how to work the education system and they can give a child a better chance of a better school. |
| Problems with Parentocracy and Marketisation | Ball suggests marketisation justifies inequality. Parentocracy gives the image that parents are in control and can choose their child's school. Any differences in achievements are seen as the parents fault for choosing the wrong school. Not systems fault for being unfair. |
| National Curriculum And Testing 1988 | Was to raise standards Good - All students study the same curriculum. Progress can be measured. Students have targets Bad - Students can be taken out of curriculum. Practical subjects have lot out to academic subjects Testing outs pressure of teachers and students Schools become exam factories |
| League Tables | Was to raise standards Good because you can compare schools and the schools at the top of the table become popular. Schools are in competition with each other. League tables are best suited for the child. Bad because lower children don't feel as good which is made worse as good schools have entrance exams. There's also pressure on teachers |
| Competition and Choice 1988 | Was to raise standards. Schools sell themselves from perspectuse. God because schools have to raise standards so they stay open and poor schools are forced to make changes. Bad because it costs a lot of money to market schools. |
