Neoliberalising education: new geographies of private tuition, class privilege and minority ethnic advancement
journal contribution
posted on 2019-10-11, 09:07 authored by Sarah HollowaySarah Holloway, Philip KirbyGeographic research on neoliberalism has explored the restructuring of educational landscapes
wrought through marketisation of preschool, school and higher-education provision and considered
the responsibilisation of parents and children for educational outcomes. This study develops
understanding of the contingent emergence of neoliberal educational reform, and its progressive
and regressive impacts, through an examination of the burgeoning private tuition market in
England and Wales. The paper outlines the contours of the previously hidden supplementary
education industry, demonstrating that it reinforces regional and classed inequalities, while opening
possibilities for ethnic minority advancement. Conceptually, the paper advances debate about
socio-spatial specificity in neoliberal change, showing that the intersection of policy, free markets
and consumer behaviour reshapes the educational landscape in ways that extend beyond state
intention and control. Through these processes, contingent market forms are produced that offer
social mobility for some, but ensure the social reproduction of enduring regimes of power.
