Description
Introduction In describing the success of private schools in commanding the high-stakes terrain of senior schooling in Australia, Teese indicated that the '"micro" perspective which focuses on how schools differ from one another ultimately rests on a "macro" perspective which highlights the performance demands communicated through a centralised curriculum and imposed on all schools' (1998, p. 414). Teese's point was that the characteristics and significance of the differences between schools (the micro perspective) are instantiated through the performance imperatives of the education system (macro perspective). In this regard, the 'success' of private schools may perhaps, at least in the last 15 years, be attributable to an alignment of the underlying market endeavours of these schools with the pervading and structuring neo-liberal discourses of contemporary Australian education systems. Ball suggested that the education reform agenda of the neo-liberal society is 'embedded in three interrelated policy technologies; the market, managerialism, and performativity' (2003, p. 215). He explained that these three technologies play an important role in the new management of public resources, in which the former bureaucracies are aligned with the methods, culture and ethical system of the private sector.
