In the 1980s and 1990s Great Britain introduced policies to develop quasi-markets in education, similar to policies introduced in other countries at that time (Hirsch 1994; Whittyet al., 1998; Lauder, Hugheset al., 1999). Influenced by the New Right and neo-liberalism, quasi-markets apply market principles to the provision of public services. They differ from ‘real’ markets in that the services provided are free to the user and the providers may not be private profit-maximising organisations (Le Grand and Bartlett 1993). The typical features of educational quasi-markets are parental choice of school, the publication of information to inform this choice, enrolment-linked funding, the granting of management powers to schools, the corresponding reduction in the powers of educational authorities to plan education, and encouragement to schools to diversify.
