Module 11 - Discussion Board 1. Globalization and neoliberalism have significantly influenced the field of education. Globalization, in particular, has impacted education by prompting the government to benchmark the United States' education system against that of other nations. This comparative approach has fostered a stronger correlation between education and the economy, as highlighted by Rury (2020). Consequently, the United States has prioritized the incorporation of advanced technology in education to match the more rigorous systems observed in countries like Japan and Germany. Moreover, Rury (2020) observes that some parents perceive a compromise in their values and the prevailing materialistic and secular influences on youth culture. To address this concern, neoliberals have not only sought to enhance academic standards by comparing test scores globally but also aimed to reduce the budget allocated to academic spending. This dual approach reflects the desire to align education with evolving societal needs while ensuring efficient allocation of resources. 2. The exclusion of students occurs as a consequence of neoliberal education policies that exclusively prioritize academic excellence. In a segment of Jonathan Kozol's work, he highlights, "A diploma obtained from a high school in an underprivileged area is not regarded highly in the United States" (Kozol, 1991). This statement suggests that an education received from a public institution lacking rigorous standards is not considered a legitimate form of education. Moreover, Rury (2020) associates neoliberalism with the belief that public school districts are ineffective, excessively costly, and fail to address the evolving needs of their communities and the broader economic system. The preference
for enrolling their children in catholic schools stemmed from the belief that they offered a superior education, despite having fewer resources compared to public schools. Researchers in the 1980s observed that Catholic schools outperformed their public counterparts in educating similar groups of children. As a result, this observation, along with other factors, fueled a rise in criticism towards public schools (Rury, 2020). References: Rury, J. L. (2020).
