Education reforms have changed not only the educational system but also those who work within it, resulting in a new 'type' of teacher and a transformation of the meaning and value of education.
“Many have argued that the resulting reforms have changed not only the educational system itself but also those that work within it, resulting in a new 'type' of teacher and a new, 'multi-facetted' transformation of what we understand by the 'meaning and value of education' (Ball, 2018, p. 589).”

The passage labeled References (page unavailable) says that commercialisation transforms education systems, re-forms educational subjects, and changes what it means to teach and learn. It also explicitly describes a multi-faceted transformation of education’s meaning and value. It does not specifically identify a new ‘type’ of teacher, and it limits the transformation of education systems to ‘in part and in some places.’ (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
