In postmodernism views of education provided by usher and Edward they say that by disolving elitism of modern education the postmodern system of schools can come up. Where the schools are flexible enough and caters for every ones need .
They suggest that oppressed groups can fight back against their disadvantages through localised campaigns to shape educational provision so that it reflects their lifestyles and aspirations .
Qns- What are these localised campaigns ? do they really take place ? and can u give me some ex. of them .
Thank you

Hi again – In the UK one example of postmodern perspective of education would be the introduction of Free Schools. These schools can be set up by parents if the schools currently available in the area are not up to standard. After the parents have justified the need for a new school to be created, the government provides the funding for parents to set-up a Free School. This illustrates the postmodern view as in principle it means those parents who can’t afford to send or ideologically don’t want to send their child to an elitist fee-paying school can set-up their own state school to meet their aspirational desires for their children. Hope that helps 🙂
