In this chapter I set the context of education within the field of neo-liberal economics, before looking specifically at the issue of initial teacher education, and of Early Childhood Education (ECE) credentials within this wider field. In New Zealand, since the 1980s, education has been viewed as a market (as a place for competitive engagement for private profit) as part of a wider field of neo-liberal economics.
