Özet

This article explores how Third Way policies have weakened class consciousness in education and how a Marxist model of education offers a powerful alternative to this weakening. By blending neoliberal approaches with social democracy, the Third Way promotes individualistic and market-oriented reforms in education, which have been found to deepen class inequalities and weaken class consciousness. These policies make the education system an instrument of capitalist ideology and hinder the achievement of social justice. The article argues that the Marxist model of education has the potential to reverse this weakening and rebuild class consciousness in education. This model is built on collective consciousness, the importance of critical pedagogy and the need for democratization in education. Education should be transformed from a system that prioritizes individual achievement into a tool for social justice. The research analyzes in detail the destructive effects of neoliberal education policies on class structures and demonstrates that Marxist education offers an effective solution to these inequalities. As a result, it is emphasized that the education system should be restructured as a tool to strengthen class consciousness and ensure social transformation.
