  4. Mega trends • Globalization vs. lokalization = globalization (Robertson 1995) = phenomenon there somewhere (Giddens 1996) = globaloney (Harvey 1996) OECD: market forms, management and performativity (instead of professionalism and bureaucracy) • Information flood • Information technology • HIV, hunger, pollution, genetic changes,…

  5. Four trends in educational policiesin 1990’s Sirkka Ahonen (2001) • New public management • -productivity • privatization • marketization • Restauration • Bildung • enlightenment • absolute value of civilization (education) • Neo liberalism • economical growth • instrumental value of civilization • competition of education • Local autocracy • local needs • local power to decide • wide participation

  6. 1. New Public Management Basic arguments: • public administration and affair are not efficient enough • public administrations should be organized as free market enterprise Strategic management • school strategy • school as a part of service industry Separates orderers and producers in organizations

Neo liberalism • ”There is no such thing as society, only families and individuals” Brown 1997 • Rinne & Tähtinen, 2001 • parental choice • profilized, competitive schools with high image • deregulation in legislation and curricular control • privatization, managerialistic management • slumpsum funding • public assessment, ranking lists • special schools for gifted children • public under budgeting

  8. 3. Restauration • Bildung = civilizations brings individual freedom • education itself is valuable • Popper: Social engineering • desired skills in a community • means at school: selected language, expressed values, loyalties • ”Humanistic values” • inclusion • early intervention • right to learn, motivating studies

  9. 4. Local autocracy • globalisation vs. locality • Nordic influence • local schools: right to go to the nearest school • right to local adminstration • right to take part in decision making

  10. Same phenomenon different justification • inclusion: • special schools are too expensive • Parents’ choice • equality • a school shouldn’t be too homogeneous • gifted children • special schools are needed • tests to find gifted children as early as possible • gift is a blessing • a school shouldn’t be too homogeneous
