Transformative Change and Real Utopias in Early Childhood Education - A Story of Democracy, Experimentation and Potentiality

Early childhood education and care is a major policy issue for national governments and international organisations. This book contests two stories, both infused by neoliberal thinking, that dominate early childhood policy making today - 'the story of quality and high returns' and 'the story of markets',¿ stories that promise high returns on investment if only the right technologies are applied to children and the perfection of a system based on competition and individual choice.¿
