内容説明
What has education ever achieved for Aboriginal Australians? What is the rationale behind the recent push for the "basics" in education? What is the meaning of the training agenda and how far should schools prepare Australian children for the changing world of work? Why are more parents turning to private schools? In this work, the author examines these and other themes in Australian education, uncovers some of the reality that lies behind the rhetoric, and argues that many recent reforms are justified by an appeal to the economics rather than education, and are unlikely to achieve their stated aims. Broad currents of change have swept through Australian education and society in recent years, altering many assumptions about the relationship between the two. Do these changes reflect democratic reforms, or a crisis in the social system? Drawing upon a range of research, the author puts many of the debates and reforms into their context. He sketches some historical background to recent reforms and sets the changes in the context of a unified, critical theory of education and society.
