The core this report (246 page PDF) is the first chapter, which "identifies a tension between a declared commitment to social dialogue, inclusion and stakeholder involvement, on the one hand, and an embrace of performance-oriented policy instruments and privatisation, on the other." This is set in the context of "a vision where lifelong learning, knowledge, economy and society are brought together." The result is an increasing "institutional lock-in" of educational policy "establishing more direct links between technical work and strategic priorities." This is having the effect of pushing forward privatization and creating a "burgeoning" education industry "encapsulated by the multiple ICT based instruments initiated by the Commission that targets schools and teachers." This creates "serious challenges regarding social dialogue in the unfolding trajectory of EU multi-level governance." See also the executive summary (5 page PDF). Via Checkpoint e-learning.
