Abstract | This paper presents the findings of a qualitative study that explored the impact of neo-liberal policy and ideology on educators and directors working in second-chance Private Training Establishments (PTEs) which were created at the height of the neo-liberal reforms in New Zealand. By examining the experiences of 14 educators and directors in four PTEs, this research found that although those working in second-chance PTEs are not impervious to neo-liberal discourse and policy, they do not automatically reflect a rightist agenda. While assessment, funding, outcomes, and monitoring have encouraged tutors and directors to adopt a more behaviourist approach in the classroom and in their jobs, the findings also indicate that adult educators critically examine and constantly negotiate their practice.
