NEOLIBERALISM AND THE
DEGRADATION OF EDUCATION
Alternatives Routes: A Journal of Critical Social Research
VOL 26 (2015)
Edited by Carlo Fanelli and Bryan Evans
Contributors to this anthology trace how neoliberalism has
impacted education. These effects range from the commercialization and
quasi-privatization of pre-school to post-secondary education, to
restrictions on democratic practice and research and teaching, to the
casualization of labour and labour replacing technologies, and the descent
of the university into the market which threatens academic freedom. The
end result is a comprehensive and wide-ranging review of how neoliberalism
has served to displace, if not destroy, the role of the university as a
space for a broad range of perspectives.
Neoliberalism stifes the university’s ability to
incubate critical ideas and engage with the larger society.
Entrepreneurship, however, is pursued as an ideological carrier serving to
prepare students for a life of precarity just as the university itself is
being penetrated and occupied by corporations. The result is an
astonishing tale of transformation, de-democratization and a narrowing of
vision and purpose.
