School Reforms in Ontario: The "Marketization of Education" and the Resulting Silence on Equity.
Dei, George J. Sefa; Karumanchery, Leeno L.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v45 n2 p111-31 Sum 1999
Critically examines recent market-oriented educational reforms in Ontario and their impact on socially disadvantaged groups. Argues that current trends lead toward a "marketization" of education in Ontario, as the rhetoric of cost-effectiveness and bureaucratic efficiency shifts the official agenda of educational reform away from equity considerations to those of capital and big business. Contains 32 references. (Author/SV)
