| dc.description.abstract | The implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act is the most extensive neoliberal education legislation passed to date and was supposed to secure the closing of the racial achievement gap in American public education. As a preliminary examination of the effects of the neoliberalization of education politics by looking at the effects of the ratification of the No Child Left Behind Act on Chicago Public Schools this research concludes that neoliberal education policy is incompatible with achieving social equality by closing the racial achievement gap. This is due to the inherent incentives of neoliberalism, which thrives on economic competition and therefore fosters social and economic inequalities. The Chicago public school system is a good example of the effects of the neoliberalization of education policy due to its long history with accountability policies and the disproportionate percentage of minority and disa! dvantaged students. | en_US |
