ABSTRACT
Based on the antinomies and paradoxes of democracy in the contemporary social fabric, this article discusses some mutations of British neoliberalism based on the management of the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition. The analysis focus on the empowerment of neoliberal policies in the English public education through the sponsored academies and multi-academy trusts programs. Based on data collected from bibliographic sources, documents and legislation, we focus on the intensification of commercial logic in the reforms of Secondary Education in England and problematize the redefinition of the public meaning of public schools in the British context, which has been a reference for many nation-states.
