By undertaking an in-depth critical policy analysis, the text vividly illustrates how the public education system has been profoundly impacted by the emergence of a hybrid model of public-private funding. Through the examination of the consequences of this neoliberalized model, in which school districts are compelled to engage in fierce competition for public funding and participate in for-profit endeavors, the book sheds light on the emergence of burgeoning financial inequalities, exacerbated disparities for students, heightened entrepreneurialism, a closer alignment of administrators' subjectivities with a managerial approach to educational leadership, and the creation of an illusion of local autonomy. Ultimately, this text makes a substantial contribution by drawing attention to the detrimental processes of neoliberalization, marketization, and privatization within public education, as well as the managerialization of educational leadership.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be of immense value to researchers, academics, educators, and educational leaders with a keen interest in the politics of education policy and finance, school district leadership, international and comparative education, and the sociology of education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032171272\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WendyPoole,VichethSen,GeraldFallon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44636255944954,"sku":"9781032171272","price":40.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1697195242779_book.jpg?v=1697286766","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/neoliberalism-and-public-education-finance-policy-in-canada-reframing-educational-leadership-as-entrepreneurship-9781032171272","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
