• W295079852 abstract "At a 1998 Education Industry Charles Ivey was perplexed that so little of his dream of privatizing Canadian education had come to pass. A high school dance, boys on one side of gym and girls on other, was his metaphor of choice. But, as Ms. Robertson points out, partners have already found each other, and music's getting faster. AT A 1997 investment seminar, promoted as First Canadian Education Industry Summit, an American analyst claimed that Canada's schools were ripe for picking. Canadians, he noted approvingly, were not encumbered by all political baggage that Americans bring to privatization debate.1 The sold-out audience did nothing to contradict this assessment of Canadian complacency. Participants from education sector exchanged business cards just as enthusiastically as those whose interest in education was limited to how it could contribute to their clients' bottom lines. There was no scent of animosity in room, no evidence of values in conflict. When chairman of summit, Charles Ivey, claimed that the sound you hear is an industry about to be blown up, no one rushed for cover. Everyone took notes when Stephen Beatty, from investment house KPMG (one of summit's sponsors), patiently explained that the value of an education is what people are willing to pay for it. But Canada has been giving it away for free, Beatty complained, which really isn't fair. The champions of for- profit education market are out to level playing field. They have found eager allies in what Michael Apple calls conservative alliance - even though this club is not restricted to conservatives.2 Entrepreneurs, free-marketers, right-wing ideologues, fed-up taxpayers, religious fundamentalists, and radical education reformers may make strange bedfellows, they have found a common mission: dismantling monopoly of public education so that market rules can be applied to business of schooling. When parents and students become customers, consumer power will ensure that everyone gets what he or she is willing (or able) to pay for. Two years later, these predictions that Canadian education industry was in pre-explosion mode seem to have been a mite optimistic. Only two educorps are publicly traded, when, according to Ivey's calculations, Canada's market should have generated at least 11. Although contracting out and other dalliances privatization are now common, no K-12 system has swallowed privatization pill whole. Ivey has mused that delay is merely stereotypical Canadian reticence about embracing change. Canadians may be a little late out of gate when it comes to recognizing their own education industry, he admits, but they will catch on quickly.3 As 1998 summit approached, Ivey bullishly claimed that the advent of government cutbacks, onset of competitive mentalities, and demanding stakeholders would triumph over caution. His survey of Canadian opportunity landscape was encouraging, he wrote, as he pointed to a postsecondary sector that is changing fast. Many publicly funded institutions have faced choice of embracing privatization or closing their doors. It is only a matter of time, Ivey promised, until whole system falls into line. It's like a high school dance, Ivey mused, with boys on one side of gym and girls on other. Nobody wants to make first move across abyss onto dance floor. Line Dancing The federal government has cut $3.1 billion in postsecondary funding over seven years; most provinces have followed suit. Even reluctant colleges and universities have had to rethink their business plans; University of Toronto can't rely on small efficiencies to make up for $54 million in lost funding, nor will tuition hikes of up to 127% make up shortfall. Setting up a number of private programs within this public institution has eased some of pain. …" @default.
