Funded Activity Summary
A social geography of school choice: Educational decision-making and markets in the new age of accountability. The functioning of school choice is a major government and public concern because of increasing reliance upon individual use of information as a mechanism for driving system-wide innovation, excellence and equity. This project will strengthen the empirical and conceptual basis for developing future policies strengthening the relationship between families and schooling. It will provide particular assistance to education systems striving to provide greater equity and inclusion. Knowledge of how school choice works will thereby produce benefits for the future wellbeing of individuals, and for the capacity of schooling to contribute to national social cohesion and economic prosperity.Funded Activity Details
