ABSTRACT
In this chapter we review the findings reported in Chapters 2 to 5, using the publicmarkets model as an integrating framework and other analytical frameworks outlined in Chapter 7. There are three elements to the chapter. The first is concerned with schools’ engagements with their local public-markets. This discussion prepares the ground for an interpretation and summary of school responses in Chapter 8 in which the question of the degree of consumer responsiveness is addressed.
