“…In the public sector it includes public schools that accept non-local students, magnet schools and independent public schools such as charter schools. As noted previously, school choice is associated with increased segregation (OECD, 2014a;Rotberg, 2014;Waslander et al, 2010;Yoon et al, 2020 and, but research of some education markets has found that it is not linked (Gorard et al, 2001;Greene, 2005). Private schools provide another form of school choice since they rarely use student residence as a criterion for admission, and thus publicly subsidized parental choice of private schools, as with voucher programs in the US or Chile, or state-supported private schools in the Netherlands or Canada, can expand such choices.…”

While marketisation 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 marketisation to different degrees. Drawing on data from the Programme for International Student Assessment and a causal-comparative design, we show that Australian schooling has more choice and competition, is more socially segregated, has larger school stratification of human and material resources, and has greater inequalities of educational outcomes and overall lower effectiveness than Canadian schooling. Our findings suggest that educational marketisation reduces educational equity and effectiveness by increasing school social segregation and stratification of resources.

“…The selection of a school is a big challenge for parents as it affects the professional accomplishment of the pupils. It is a multi criteria decision making problem that can be supported by GIS (Yoon et al, 2020 ). Baykasoglu and Durmusoglu ( 2014 ) used an analytical network process and fuzzy cognitive maps to select the private primary schools.…”

An evaluation of primary schools and its accessibility using GIS techniques: a case study of Prayagraj district, India

2022

The spatial analysis of primary schools is needed to ensure that they meet standards set by the Government of India. Therefore, mapping of Prayagraj district primary schools is carried out in this research work. The spatial analysis of schools is performed using various parameters that include: literacy rate, student gender ratio, teacher taught ratio, and students’ toilets ratio. Several problems were revealed in the GIS based analysis of schools by highlighting their locations on the map. The results identify the location of all those schools where there is a need to take corrective measures. Further, the route analysis between home and school is handled in this research work. Sometimes, commutation is the sole criteria in the selection of a school. Therefore, optimal path analysis has been performed based on three parameters, i.e. population density, traveling distance and traveling time. A combined weight function is also given to find the optimal path. This work will help people to select the best possible path based upon their requirements. There is often a requirement to reach all the schools to distribute the goods or other physical monitoring activities. This work gave the optimal route to visit all the schools by using the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). School accessibility results obtained in this research through TSP will assist in choosing the best possible route. This will help the government identify locations where new roads need to be constructed to have road connectivity.
