Situating the Paradoxes of Market-Driven Education Policies Within a Human Right to Education Framework

Fri, April 22, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), World Educational Research Association Virtual Meeting Rooms, WERA Virtual Meeting Room 1

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium provides empirical evidence on the implementation of market-based education policies across international contexts, and the obstacles they might represent for the full realization of the human right to education. The first section of the symposium examines the contextual differences that shape the design, implementation, and contradictory effects of market-driven educational policies, drawing attention on the challenges they pose in terms of equity, social cohesion and inclusion. The second symposium section explores possible responses to these challenges from the perspectives of a regulatory approach and a legal human right to education framework. Overall, this session examines these policies as complex, hybrid, and paradoxical projects functioning in different ways across countries.
