Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2026

This book addresses the intricate dynamics of materiality in education governance, which has highlighted the prioritisation of human needs over ecological considerations. It examines how material conditions—encompassing economic production and the assemblage of human and nonhuman entities—shape educational practices and policies. This book delves into the rapid advancements in digital technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the datafication and platformization of education, revealing their implications for equitable access and resource distribution. Furthermore, it addresses the relationships between public and private sectors in providing essentials of education and the tensions between Global North, South and East, analysing the exportation and enactment of education models and digital solutions without critical problematisation. Ultimately, it calls for a nuanced understanding of these material tensions across local and global contexts. By employing a more-than-human approach to education governance, the authors aim to unravel the complexities of these relationships, offering insights into how they can either perpetuate inequalities or foster collaborative, flourishing educational environments. This book serves as a vital resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to navigate the evolving landscape of education governance in a rapidly changing world.
