Public schools, private schools and the market (Emma Rowe)

“This system of [school] competition drives us all into behaviour that is probably not that helpful for the broad majority” Dr. Emma Rowe (Deakin University) talks about her work examining how Australian public schools articulate with the market. We talk about school choice amongst middle class families, the importance of place and space in shaping distinction, and Emma’s emerging interest in innovation and school reform.
