Summary: Globally, the rise of the Educational Technology (EdTech) field has been accompanied by the growth of the market in education. Working alongside the dispersed policy networks and the discourse of ‘disruption’, the interests driving EdTech have proposed an alternative form of educational provisioning where educational services are produced, exchanged, and consumed on a for-profit basis. Such a form, underpinned by a global education industry, a favourable international policy environment, and transnational sources of influence, has paved the way for the longer-term transformation of education systems, institutions, and practices, including the repositioning of teachers in an ever-changing educational labor market.
