Overview

Discourse analysis uncovers temporal strategies in education policy, indicating historical influence on reforms.

Key Points

  • The analysis reveals how historical narratives are used to legitimize current actions in education policy.
  • Three dominant temporal strategies include avoiding repetition of history and emphasizing change for success.
  • This discourse analysis examines the interplay of past, present, and future in the OECD and UK education policies.
  • The findings suggest these strategies often reproduce existing governance logics they seek to challenge.
