The Radical Right and Teacher THE RADICAL RIGHT AND TEACHER EDUCATION: AN ANALYSIS OF AND RESPONSE TO THE RESTRUCTURING OF INITIAL TEACHER EDUCATION IN ENGLAND AND WALES UNDER THE CONSERVATIVE AND NEW LABOUR GOVERNMENTS 1979-2001 David Stanley Hill Institute of Education University of London October 2001 Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 ABSTRACT Following the 1979 general election, Conservative governments radically restructured Initial Teacher Education (ITE) in England and Wales (a process that I argue is substantially retained by New Labour in its policy on ITE and in education more widely). The aim of this thesis is to examine and evaluate Radical Right policy on ITE and responses to it, and to propose an alternative Radical Left policy based on the theories and data analysed. The thesis begins by describing the content and context of the restructuring and by charting various responses from the education community. It proceeds to identify ideological approaches to ITE that are 'alternative' and 'oppositional' to the Radical Right. To make sense of the restructuring, I examine five theoretical analyses of state policy and of the articulations and disarticulations within the ITE policy process. These are 'state autonomy', postmodernist, 'quasi- postmodernist', culturalist neo-Marxist, and structuralist neo-Marxist analyses. I then describe and evaluate what aimed to be a Radical Left 'critical transformative' ITE course (the Crawley BEd) that I led from 1990-1995. Here I present data on student teacher and NQT reactions to that course, which I compare to other courses that I surveyed. In the light of this data I then revisit the theoretical explanations by referring to the limited 'transformativeness' of the Crawley BEd, and to the success of Radical Right policy on ITE (and education more widely) nationally. My theoretical conclusion is that a structuralist neo-Marxist analysis best explains the data and policy developments. Finally, I suggest some implications for policy, deriving from structuralist neo-Marxist analysis. 2 CONTENTS Introduction pp 13-18 Chapter One pp 19-44 CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT POLICY ON INITIAL TEACHER EDUCATION 1979-97 Conservative ITE Policy: a Summary Setting up a Market in Initial Teacher Training/Education with a Diversity of Entry Routes The Attempt to Recompose the Teaching Force Introduction of a New, Highly Prescriptive and Monitored National Curriculum for HEI-Based ITE: The 1984 CATE Criteria The 1989 CATE Criteria The 1992 and 1993 CATE Criteria Effects on the ITE Curriculum The Content of BEd/BA(QTS) and PGCE Courses - Domination by the National Curriculum for Schools Funding, Control and Staffmg of ITE The location of HEI-based courses The Ideology of BEd/BA(QTS) and PGCE Courses — the Conservative ITE Curriculum Notes Chapter Two pp 45-71 RADICAL RIGHT DISCOURSE AND THE JUSTIFICATION OF POLICY ON INITIAL TEACHER EDUCATION Sixteen Radical Right (society-level) Ideological Themes Radical Right Policy on Initial Teacher Education Changes to ITE in the context of Conservative Education Policy The Bigger Picture of Conservative Ideology: Thatcherism, Neo- Liberalism and Neo-Conservatism Phases in Thatcherism and post-Thatcherite Conservative Party Education Policy The Neo-liberals The Neo-Conservatives The Unity of the Radical Right?

  • Credit Where It's Due How to Revive Bank Lending to British Small And
    November 2011 Credit WWWhereWhere IIIt’sIt’s DDDueDueueue How to revive bank lending to British Small and Medium Sized Enterprises Will Hutton and Kenneth Peasnell The Big Innovation Centre is an initiative of The Work Foundation and Lancaster University. Launched in September 2011, it brings together a range of companies, trusts, universities and public bodies to research and propose practical reforms with the ambition of making the UK a global open innovation hub as part of the urgent task of rebalancing and growing the UK economy, and with the vision of building a world-class innovation and investment ecosystem by 2025. For further details please visit www.biginnovationcentre.com Introduction and Summary The short-run objective: to increase the probability that funds released into the banking system by quantitative easing more directly influence both the risk appetite of banks for lending to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), along with their capability to lend rather than being hoarded, used to refinance investment banking activities, or simply disappearing out of the country into overseas lending. The longer-run opportunity: to create an enduring mechanism that will encourage banks to increase lending to the kinds of innovative SMEs that are under-nourished by the current banking system but essential if the UK is to grow and rebalance its economy (Hutton and Nightingale, 2011). The proposal: for the Treasury to create Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) that will purchase high-quality SME debt originated by individual banks, and for the SPV to issue tranches of debt in turn, in the form of asset-backed securities (ABSs) with decreasing orders of claim on its portfolio of assets.
