Neoliberalism = a political approach that favors free-market capitalism, deregulation, and reduction in government spending.

Neocolonialism = the use of economic, political, cultural, or other pressures to control or influence other countries, especially former dependencies.

In the context of education, could mean teaching people about the political approaches.

Or, it could mean using these approaches to permit a broader range of educational behaviors (neoliberalism) or compel adherence to a narrow set of ideologies (neocolonialism). In most of education, the progressives are neocols and the conservatives are neolibs.
