Zusammenfassung:Government educational 'reforms' have set out to place educational institutions in competitive relations in the market place. In spite of this, however, the institutions continue to seek out and to develop a variety of collaborative relations, working in consortia and networks
This book explores the nature of this collaborative working and the reasons why educators individually, and through their institutions, continue to value them. Some of these reasons have to do with the demands of the market itself: institutions combine and work together in order to compete with others; some of them have to do with a conscious effort to avoid what educators see as the potentially damaging effects of market relations in a locality; some of them are expressions of continuing allegiance to notions of public service or common professional purpose; and, some are practical celebrations of principles of collaboration and collegiality which are seen as integral to a particular philosophy of education. In practice these and other motives combine in complex ways
