There has been a recent burgeoning of interest in the power of elite private schools in the UK.

Here, we draw upon unprecedented access to two…

We argue that these transformations are reducing the autonomy of the field of education as it has incorporated business rhetoric, logic and practice. We examine this through an analysis of discursive formations manifested in two…

Bonal, Xavier; Pagès, Marcel; Verger, Antoni; Zancajo, Adrián – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2023
