Philanthropy in Australian Public Schooling

慈善参与学校教育是普遍的，但没有学术研究调查这一发展在澳大利亚公立学校的实质性后果。该项目的目的是发展教育社会学的新知识，了解慈善事业如何影响学校治理的实践，并助长公立学校系统内的系统性不公平。该项目旨在建立教育利益相关者批判性地评估公立学校私有化的能力。此外，它希望为社会学理论提供信息，说明什么是后福利民主，以及国家在公共教育中应该扮演什么角色，特别是在公平的学校资金安排方面。

Philanthropic involvement in schooling is prevalent, yet there is no academic research that investigates the substantive consequences of this development in Australian public schooling. The aim of this project is to develop new knowledge in education sociology of how philanthropy is influencing practices of school governance and contributing to systemic inequity within the public school system. The project seeks to build the capacity of education stakeholders to critically evaluate public school privatisation. Further, it hopes to inform sociological theories of what post-Welfare democracies are, and what the state's role ought to be in the public provision of schooling, particularly in relation to equitable school funding arrangements.
