ABSTRACT
It is argued that the desire for the edge or the grass is always greener on the other side; fantasy is dominant within education. Desires constituted by fantasies such as risk management, capitalism, neoliberalism, GERM (Global Education Reform Movement), and sustainable development, which are mentioned, are just some of the companions of fantasy within education and desire for education.
