Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to track the origin of new public management principles in the United States education reform and the first attempt of neo-corporatist practices in the policy making process. After examining the context of the reform, the article presents some key-changes that occurred in the educational system, like the aims of the charter schools, the role of educational epistemic communities, and the purpose of market-based principles. After examining the limits and critics of experts regarding the effects of public education reform under NPM rules and principles, the conclusion emphasizes the necessity of a proper balance between public and private objectives, accountability and practices for the governance of the educational system.
