Module 1 - Reading Notes - Furlong, 2013

Globalisation, Neoliberalism, and the Reform of Teacher Education in England.

John Furlong, 2013.

A look into the globalisation of education policy with a focus on teacher training. Mostly looks at the influence of politics on teachers from 1997-2011. The article is looking at this from neoliberalism.

Key points:

- Could reform of education be imagined differently without the influence of politics?

- Turn to look at social justice towards final years due to the influence of PISA (programme for international student assessment).
