This book offers a unique record of the realities of parental
choice and competitive pressures on schools. On the basis of
research involving thousands of parents and eleven secondary
schools monitored over several years, it sets out: * empirical
findings on parents' preferences and experience of choice, how
schools respond to competitive pressures, and local dynamics of
quasi-markets * theoretical implications for understanding
quasi-markets in education and the public interest * implications
for educational policy, if schools are to be more responsive and
inequalities lessened The book provides insights into whether
pressures for choice and diversity are in the greater public
interest, or if they benefit only the few, and suggests a notion of
the public-market as a model for analysing public services.
