Abstract
There has been widespread debate about the effects and impacts of globalisation and the predominant waves of reform that have arisen as a result. Many educational theorists have argued that there is strong empirical evidence indicating that educational reform initiatives resemble similar ‘world movements’ (see for example, Meyer et al., 1997; Meyer, 2000), which have their origins in international financial institutions and serve to change the global rhetoric and discourse about education.
