Could you explain privatisation of education pls

Basically when schools become privately owned and not state run by the government. Privatisation will allow schools to be run like business where parents( consumers) will have more choice on schools for their child and schools will compete like businesses to get the most consumers and best ones ( MC)

Does anyone know where you can get more practice questions, I'v done every paper so many times and am wondering if anyone knows of a revision source which writes their own questions ?

What do you guy's think will come up on paper 1 for the 20 markers?

I think it could be ethnicity but not too sure.

honestly not sure because we've had class, gender and ethnicity and there's also been marketisation, meritocracy and transmission of values, they could do something about like conflict theories on education vs consensus ? I feel like the obvious 30 markers have all gone now

Yh I definitely get you, they could always ask class/ethnicity differences but word it differently like "evaluate ethnicity/ class differences in achievement are mainly due to home factors" or something like that. But it is tough as everything has been asked before. How you feeling for the theory and methods stuff & method in context? I really dont know what to expect at this point as theres so much content and so many possible questions!

yeah maybe, honestly I don't mind theory/methods/methods in context at all, ive made a conscious effort to really get to know the theory stuff (as in like sociology as a science or symbolic interactionism etc) but I find the methods stuff all pretty easy mostly bc ive done psychology since GCSE so just transfer the research methods over and apply it, how about you? usually its the bit people hate the most haha

I find theories and stuff like sociology as a science quite hard just because there's so much to remember lol I think any research method would be a nice 10 marker. Methods in context all ik is it Must to be applied to education otherwise you get capped at 12 marks. Really nervous for paper 1 although i feel like Ik a lot of it

im super nervous for paper 2 tbh like out of all of them, we do family and beliefs and I know the content and there's no 30 marker but i find the questions annoying haha, at least paper 2 and 3 are ages away they're my last 2 exams in general
