The New Right
Believe the state takes a ‘One Size Fits All Approach’ in its approach to schools.
Trying to impose the same regulations, policies & finding to all schools.
Ignoring local & individual needs e.g pupils, parents, staff
Opposite to functionalism
Chubb & Moe (1990)
Argue USA state schools have failed their goals and should be placed in ‘Free Market’.
Compared 60,000 pupils from low income families in 1,015 state schools & private schools plus a ‘parent’s survey’.
•State education had failed disadvantaged groups & failed to create equality of opportunity.
•Pupils not being equipped with skills needed to work this economy is failing.
•Private schools are more efficient & productive as have answer to their clients - the paying customer.
Gewirtz (1995)
Marketisation benefits middle class & disadvantage the working class
• New Right ignores wider social inequalities in education & place blame on schools themselves.
• New Right want parents to have choice & freedom but want a strict curriculum in place - contradictory.
• Marxists argue schools don’t transmit a shared culture, only upper class culture (dominant).
