Abstract

education international education
Based on an account of the internationalisation of education in Australian government schools, this article challenges the enthusiastic recruitment of full-fee-paying students in the state sector. The author argues that a major problem for state schooling is the implementation of policies and practices arising from the context of higher education such as the idea that internationalisation invariably strengthens international and intercultural relationships and the idea that the competitive market-driven approach is an inevitable effect of globalisation. The author contends that issues raised in the context of state schools highlight existing orthodoxies and the need to move beyond the neoliberal priorities of international education to explore strategic and innovative new directions.
