Abstract

To begin with, I would characterise the perspective that opposes the ideas and practice of free higher education as a reactionary position marked by its a-historicism, pragmatism and conservatism. The opposing approach, which is supportive of free higher education, I argue is historically contextual, seeks a radical alternative to what prevails in public policy and is fundamentally transformative. These differences were already in evidence around the 2015–2016 #FMF struggles but have been accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the policy responses to it. I deal with each of these approaches in turn.

对公共利益的攻击

首先，我将反对免费高等教育理念和实践的观点描述为一种以非历史主义、实用主义和保守主义为特征的反动立场。我认为，相反的方法支持免费高等教育，这是有历史背景的，它寻求一种激进的替代方案，以取代公共政策中普遍存在的做法，并从根本上具有变革性。这些差异在2015-2016年FMF的斗争中已经体现出来，但在2019冠状病毒病大流行及其政策应对措施中更加突出。我将依次讨论每一种方法。

期刊介绍： Education as Change is an accredited, peer reviewed scholarly online journal that publishes original articles reflecting critically on issues of equality in education and on the ways in which educational practices contribute to transformation in non-formal, formal and informal contexts. Critique, mainly understood in the tradition of critical pedagogies, is a constructive process which contributes towards a better world. Contributions from and about marginalised communities and from different knowledge traditions are encouraged. The articles could draw on any rigorous research methodology, as well as transdisciplinary approaches. Research of a very specialised or technical nature should be framed within relevant discourses. While specialised kinds of research are encouraged, authors are expected to write for a broader audience of educational researchers and practitioners without losing conceptual and theoretical depth and rigour. All sectors of education are covered in the journal. These include primary, secondary and tertiary education, adult education, worker education, educational policy and teacher education.
