In the 2002 context? No Child Left Behind was being implemented, which was essentially a foot in the door for privatizating every aspect of education so long as the students could pass standardized test scores. This implemented the conditions of today where public education funds are funneled to private operations while accepting private grants to guide and govern curriculum.

What you say is that education is basically a game for the policy makers.

In the sense that education is an adversary to the right wing, yes. The right wing treats those things as games. 'It is their right to play' as the saying goes.
