This book critically examines neoliberal policy impacts on schooling/ education in the Developing World. Chapters ask What Neoliberal Changes have taken place? (e.g. privatisation, vouchers, marketisation, commercialization, school fees, new brutalist public managerialism, and the the assault on the comprehensive / common school principle and on democratic control of schools) and identify neoliberal Drivers or Levers - national / transnational corporations, thinktanks, pressure groups, state power, ideologies/ discourses. The contributors (academics and labour organization/social movement activists) analyse the latest developments in Latin America, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Pakistan, India, Burkina Fasso, South Africa, Mozambique, and China.
