Journal Set 3: Neoliberalism And The Effects Of It On Education
Neoliberalism which
is a movement of thought advocates that private enterprise needs to manage
market and economics should leave affairs of state. This concept leads the
field that competition is the most important factor in determining the market.
In addition to these, it features personal rights and private ownership. It is
also a capitalist movement. From these explanations, we can make an inference
that two important terms “competition and standardization” come out with the
effect of Neoliberalism.
When we come to education, the impact of Neoliberalism
cannot be ignored. Here, firstly, we can express the general sayings about
neoliberalism and education. With the ideologic attacks of capital or global
powers, in the field of education; the concept “communal education” is totally
being tried to destroy. Educational systems have been putting more emphasis on
individual benefits day by day. As a result, people are getting more alien to
their societal values, norms, even to their close environment. They are
becoming more ambitious about earning money, having possession and so on. With
the effects of these, privatization in education has become inevitable because
these global powers are including education into market. They are supporting it
and trying to feature private education. Nowadays, we are aware of the fact
that private lectures, private schools and private teaching institutions have a
significant role in education system in our country. They are well received by
society since parents believe that these ways are helping their children to be
more successful in their courses.
As we see, education has been affected by global
issues such as neoliberalism and particularly, competition and standardization
have had a significant impact on education. Education has begun to be used for
commercial purposes. With the effect of this, Quality in education has
underestimated. If you are rich, then you will take a good education but if you
are poor, then you will stay in the background of the system. On the other
hand, we know that education is for every individual one. Competition has
occured among entrepreneurs rather than students. Nowadays, it is easy to see
that economic productivity has been coming not from government investment in
education, but from transforming education into a product that can be bought
and sold like anything else.
