Abstract
This chapter explores how platformization can be related to an intensification and multiplication of the entanglements between a market economy and a moral economy in the education sector. Drawing on an emerging body of literature on platforms business models in education, we will focus on how the embracing of humanitarian rationalities by EdTech corporations and Edu-businesses and their alliance with public authorities, schools, and professionals through digital solidarity initiatives, has opened the space for the enactment of different economic forms through digital platforms. We will discuss the multiple ways in which those economic forms are remaking education processes and subjects as commodified and commodifiable entities. We argue that the pandemic is a distinctive event for the moralization of the EdTech market and the further expansion of neo-liberal visions of education.
