Teaching work is being reorganised, but detailed empirical work on how this is happening is rare. The post-Braverman labour process debate has provided insights that are useful in gaining an understanding of these developments, and which are relevant to other mass professions. What are the strategies used to organise and control work? What is happening to teachers' skills? What about their control over their own work? Changes in the ideologies of central government rather than in the technologies-in-use are proposed as major causes of acceleration in the reorganisation of teaching work, since they lead to new forms of control such as more detailed task specification, the introduction of local management of schools, and inappropriate contractualisation. Suggestions are made about directions fieldwork based studies might take.

Die Autoren betrachten die Situation des Bildungswesens in den Golfstaaten am Beispiel der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate. Das Bildungswesen in den VAE hat seit den 1970er Jahren expandiert, in den 1980er Jahren kam es zu Reformen, die jedoch unzureichend blieben. Die relativ schlechte Ausbildung an öffentlichen Schulen gegenüber privaten Schulen wird v.a. auf Mängel in der Verwaltung zurückgeführt. Weitere Reformen im Bildungswesen seien vonnöten, um die bestehenden Unterschiede im öffentlichen und privaten Sektor zu überbrücken und lokale Arbeitskräfte im privaten Sektor zu integrieren.
