FreshEd #78 - Exploring Educational Privatization(Stephen Ball)

Education privatisation continues to be a big topic across countries. But do you really know how it’s happening, how privatization as an educational policy is moving around the world? And what effect is it having on governments? Today we re-play an episode from 2017. My guest, Stephen Ball, has written a series of books looking at educational privatization. In his latest book, Edu.net, co-written with Caroline Junemann and Diego Santori, he explores through network ethnography the evolution of the global education policy community that is advancing privatization. Stephen Ball was a Distinguished Service Professor at the Institute of Education, University College London.
