Abstract

At one level, this is an Australian Research Council funded project on teacher education partnership policy and practice in Australia whose data gathering took place over 2018 and 2019. Current renditions of the term in education policy circles largely emerged in the 1990s to erase the visibility of privatisation as an ideological red rag in the social policy sector. Unlike the TEMAG initiative which was introduced in 2014 in Australia, a partnership model for teacher education was launched in England and Wales in 1992 by the then Conservative Party Secretary of State, Kenneth Clarke. Much of the policy analysis work in education that emerged using network analysis consisted of ‘mapping’ the various actors in the policy landscape to make visible key policy shapers, makers and takers. This is important in a context where the governance of education has been transformed to include many non-state actors, from transnational firms to NGOs, consultants and corporate philanthropists.
