New Right perspective
  1. Favours marketisation - state cannot meet the needs of the people & people are best left to meet their own needs through the free market.
    1. Similar to FUNCTIONALISTS
      1. Believes that some people are naturally more talented than others.
        1. Favours an education system run on meritocratic principles of open competition & one that serves the needs of the economy by preparing young people to work.
          1. Education should socialise pupils into shared values such as competition and instil a sense of natural identity.
          2. Argues that the power of the state is used to impose their views of what kind of schools we should have.
            1. Local consumers who use the schools have no say.
              1. Schools = unresponsive and breed inefficiency.
                1. = lower standards of achievement, less qualified workforce and a less prosperous economy.
            2. Solution? Marketisation of education, a education market.
              1. Competition between schools and laws of supply and demand will empower consumers = greater diversity, choice and efficiency & increasing ability to meet the needs of the consumers.
              2. CHUBB AND MOE: American state education has failed & makes a case for opening it up to market forces of supply and demand.
                1. State education failed to create equal opportunities so now there are disadvantaged groups.
                  1. State education = inefficient because it fails to produce pupils wiht the skills needed by the economy.
                    1. Private schools deliver higher quality education bc they are answerable to paying consumers (parents)
                      1. Base their arguments of 60k pupils from low-income families in 1,015 state and public schools.
                        1. Evidence shows 5% of pupils from low-income families do better in private schools.
                        2. Propose a system in which each family would be given a voucher to spend on education from a school of their choice.
                          1. Forces schools to be more responsive to parents' wishes as the vouchers would be the school's main source of income.
                        3. 2 roles for the state.
                          1. 1. State imposes a framework on schools within which they have to compete.
                            1. Publication of League tables and OFSTED reports = parents are more informed = more competition.
                            2. 2. State ensures the schools transmit a shared culture.
                              1. Single National Curriculum - Guarantees that schools socialise pupils into a single cultural heritage.
                            3. EVALUATION
                              1. Gewirtz and Ball: Competition benefits the m/c - uses cultural and economic capital to gain access to more desirable schools.
                                1. Critics: real cause of low educational standards is not state control but social inequality & bad funding of state schools.
                                  1. Contradiction between NR's support for parental choice & state imposing a compulsory NC on its own schools.
                                    1. MARXISTS: Education imposes the culture of a dominant minority ruling class.
