EDU7104 Education and the Global Economy
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Credit Points: 60
 
Description:
The rise of an integrated global economy is one of the major transformations of the modern era. While it is re-shaping the nature of work and social opportunities, it is increasingly the focus of organised protest and dissent. This unit examines the driving forces behind the new economy including the globalisation of markets, finance, technology, competition and neo-liberal ideas. The unit will discuss the impact of this free-market model on the provision of education. More broadly, economic globalisation is having a major impact on people's lives creating winners and losers and intensifying debates about social justice, human rights, and the role of government. The unit will examine these issues and their impact on future directions in education.
