This title was first published in 2001. A series of major reforms
during the 1980s and 1990s have led to the transformation of the
Education System in England and Wales. The new system is now based
on market principles in schooling resources. Parents now have the
opportunity to state a preference over the school they would like
their children to attend. This fascinating book sets out the new
geographies of education, focusing on the spatial organization of
the new market system. Using Geographical Information Systems
(GIS), it examines patterns of competition and choice based on
pupil home postcodes and relates these to the decision-making
process of parents. It also makes comparisons between different
LEAs and schools in urban and rural areas, analyzing the
constraints created by space and geography. In considering the
effectiveness and impact of this new form of provision, the book
plays an important role in understanding and appreciating the
impact of the education market upon social mobility and community
structure.
