Education is vulnerable to a host of internal and external forces says Spring .
One of the external forces is political. The major political players in education are major government actors, special-interest groups, and the knowledge industry. Spring contends that this external force subjects the schools to many pressures and as a result schools retract and defend. Spring argues the politics of education is centered on who is in control of the knowledge being disseminated. The major conflicts in education are caused by competition among groups and individuals to influence the knowledge being disseminated to the students.
