School Choice and Competition Markets in the Public Interest?

Presents a record of the realities of school competition. The text offers insights into what is important to parents when comparing schools; the action schools are taking, or failing to take, in the new and more threatening environment in which they now operate; and whether market pressures in schooling are working in the great interest or only benefitting the few. Drawing on responses from several thousand parents, the book reports the findings of a five year investigation into the impact of reforms aimed at introducing more choice and competition into schools.
