“According to Bloomfield (2006), diminished teacher autonomy has resulted from a political perception that teachers should not be viewed as professionals whose opinion should be valued, but as underperforming obstacles to change. Indeed, Thrupp (2009) observes that teachers and teaching quality have been positioned as a ‘handy scapegoat’ in schooling reform agendas in which associated rhetoric promoted by politicians, media, commercial interests and much of popular culture seems to suggest that if only there were better teachers in schools, there would be greater improvements in student outcomes regardless of socioeconomic disadvantage.”

“The education system is not just out of balance but is also seriously out of control. The rise of a ‘global education measurement industry’ (Biesta 2015a) seems to have handed over the definition of what counts as good education to technocrats who provide seductive statistics and glossy league tables but operate beyond democratic accountability. At a global scale, therefore, we seem to have ended up in a situation where governments and the public often value what is being measured, rather than that attempts are made to measure what is considered valuable.”
