The impact of marketization on school segregation and educational equity and effectiveness: Evidence from Australia and Canada
While marketization has been promoted as a mechanism for improving educational equity and effectiveness, substantial evidence suggests that it may have the opposite effect. We contribute to this debate by examining educational equity and effectiveness in two similar countries that have embraced educational marketization to different degrees. Drawing on data from the Program for International Student Assessment and a causal-comparative design, we …
Should Religious Schools Be Publicly Funded? Issues of Religion, Discrimination, and Equity
This issue offers a critical opportunity to reflect on an enduring question in education: Should religious schools be state-funded? To facilitate this reflection, this issue offers six studies from Canada, Spain, and the United States. Each delves into the unique relationships between state-funded schooling and religion in their respective contexts. In particular, these studies examine how the relationships have shifted due to numerous factors, i…
Unequal City and Inequitable Choice: The Neoliberal State’s Development of School Choice and Marketization in the Publicly Funded Catholic School Board in Toronto, Canada
This study examines the extent to which school choice in the Toronto Catholic District School Board impacts equity and segregation. This examination is important because full public funding for the Board should adhere to the goals of public education, namely, equity and inclusion of all students. A critical policy geography perspective is applied to illuminate the dynamics of school choice as a neoliberal reform in the context of a global city wh…
A donor wall vs. a big jar: Critical space analysis of two school fundraising campaigns
This study sheds light on how large-scale school fundraising efforts differ according to locations in unequal and segregated cities, putting a greater burden on schools in under-resourced areas. In particular, we compare the large-scale fundraising campaigns of two high schools in contrastingly unequal urban neighbourhoods in one of Canada's prairie provinces. We apply critical space analysis to compare their respective communities, actors, strat…
School Choice and the Polarization of Public Schools in A Global City: A Bourdieusian GIS Approach
Over the past three decades, urban sociologists have shed light on the intensifying social inequality between the wealthiest and poorest neighborhoods in global cities; yet limited research has been done to illuminate the relationships between urban polarization and school choice (i.e., where parents choose schools for their children). This study sociospatially examines the patterns of secondary school choice in the global city of Toronto to illu…
School Choice Policies Shaping Neighborhoods, School Locations, and Destinies
In this article, we introduce a special collection of research articles that consider the processes and consequences of school choice across different social and spatial contexts in order to better understand the relationship between school choice and stratification in educational opportunity. This special issue presents a wide range of studies that examine geographical configurations, locations, scales, and relationships, all of which shape and …
Multiple privatisations in public education: Issues, theories, and conversations
In this article, we introduce the special issue, entitled ‘Private Partners and Profits in Public Schools: New Challenges,’ that illuminates emerging and established cases of education privatisation in various forms, localities, and scales, which deserve greater attention. First, we synthesise challenges that are facing public education under privatisation identified by the authors in this special issue. Then, we discuss the benefits of examining…
The geography of school choice in a city with growing inequality: The case of Vancouver
This analysis aims to measure the impact of school choice policy on secondary school students’ enrolment patterns within the social geography of Vancouver, an increasingly polarized global city. The rationale for the study is to examine the impact of ‘education market’ reforms on the socio-economic composition of schools in a Canadian context, where a social welfare commitment to educational equality is being replaced by market-oriented policies …
Thinking Critically in Space: Toward a Mixed-Methods Geospatial Approach to Education Policy Analysis
This paper suggests that synergies can be produced by using geospatial analyses as a bridge between traditional qualitative-quantitative distinctions in education research. While mapping tools have been effective for informing education policy studies, especially in terms of educational access and choice, they have also been underutilized and underdeveloped. This paper focuses on the potential benefits of expanding geospatial analysis, which has …
Mini schools: The newglobal city communitiesof Vancouver
In recent decades, under the mutually constitutive processes of neoliberal urbanization and globalization, Vancouver has radically transformed and become a serious contender for the title of ‘world-class city’. Against the background of this socio-spatial force reconfiguring the city, I explore how the city's unique development of mini schools – small and selective public schools within larger urban public secondary schools – has been transformin…
Educational Expectations, Parental Social Class, Gender, and Postsecondary Attainment: A 10-Year Perspective
The authors employ a unique longitudinal data set of British Columbia high school graduates that followed respondents 1, 5, and 10 years after graduation to examine the extent to which educational expectations change over time in relation to parental socioeconomic status and eventual postsecondary attainment. Using the method of correspondence analysis, they demonstrate that graduates leave high school with educational expectations that change mi…
