here's a preview of the first 150 words of this essay with formatting removed for you to read

Have a little read: ... "The marketization of education (since 1988) has raised educational standards and equality of opportunity (and so undermined the Marxist view of the education system." Assess the accuracy of this statement. Some sociologists suggest that the best way to improve standards within school is to encourage competition. This may be competition between two schools, grades or also facilities. When labour came into power they kept some of the conservative educational policies. They allow for businesses to take over a failing school and take care of the finances of the school. This can promote equal opportunities if they actually turn the school around. This in turn would increase pupil's chances and results. However, if a business man took over he could influence the pupils because of his viewpoints and this could help to recycle class inequalities. Therefore, I feel that this is not a good thing as they are not specialised in running schools
