| Research Abstract |
The report consists of three studies.
The purpose of the first study is to estimate effectiveness and influences of the Open Enrolment on secondary schools in England and Wales. Open Enrolment was introduced by the Education Reform Act 1988. It is hypothesised in the theory of quasi-market in education that competitions can improve school performance. To examine this, relationships between the degree of competitions and improvements in GCSE were statistically analysed. According to the multiple regression analysis, the degree of competitions was not statistically significant to explain the improvements. Problems in education that the quasi-market brought were also discussed. Comparing between the winning schools and the losing schools, following tendencies were found. (a) : The losing schools tend to have more pupils who are eligible for free school meals than the winning schools. (b) There ere tendencies in the losing schools that staff morale has declined, children's learning is not benefiting, and meeting special educational needs has become more difficult. c There is a tendency that neither the winning schools nor the losing schools have been promoted co-operation for education and management with neighbouring secondary schools by Open Enrolment.
The second study analysed the effect of Open Enrolment and market forces on schools, relationships between school and parents and relationships between a school and neighbouring schools.
The third discussed the effectiveness of Open Enrolment on diversity and uniqueness in education. It is found that every school tended to make efforts in education in a same way. This led to secondary education uniformity rather than diversity.
