The study of education policy always runs the danger of becoming preoccupied with specific policy proposals and technical details. In other words it can become a policy science rather than a policy scholarship which examines also fundamental principles and ideologies in struggle. The ‘commodity’ v ‘public good’ debate is clearly a fundamental issue of principle. See, for a discussion of policy science v policy scholarship on urban schooling issues
