Liberalization in this context refers to the desire of the GSN, and other GATS proponents to open up markets through privatization and through de-regulation or pro-competitive re-reg- ulation. Debates over the relative merits of various forms of privatization and de-regulation in Canada are not new. The new wrinkle is that these debates over K-12 education are now increasingly shaped by global trade rules that give priority to international commercial interests. Unless steps are taken to counter this trend, over time more public policy authority for services will shift to the WTO. Domestic policies have also been changing to allow for increased privati- zation of public education services. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ have noted the rapid growth of private for-profit education services in the U.S. in the past decade. One new form of for-profit K-12 service providers can be seen in education management organizations (EMOs), which now manage public schools, including charter schools. Charter schools are allowed to operate on a for-profit basis or can contract out part or all of the management services for schools. Thirty-seven U.S. States now allow the operation of charter schools. Another form of privatization in the U.S. is based on the voucher system in which students are provided with a voucher or chit that covers tuition costs. Parents can then choose which school will receive their “business”.5 24 EDUC ATI ON CA N A D A The growth of for-profit K-12 educa- tion service deliverers in the U.S. is worrisome for Canadians because U.S. service providers are likely to use the GATS to increase market driven approaches to the delivery of education services. Likewise, key for-profit players in the Canadian services markets can be expected to support the GATS both because they hope it will help pry open the public sector within Canada and because they believe it will enable them to gain greater access to the lucrative U.S. education market. Besides the obvious services involved in classroom teaching, the GATS is capable of covering curriculum develop- ment, maintenance, management, plan- ning, information, financial, computer, and electronic communication, among other services. Moreover, education ‘goods’ such as text books involve cur- riculum design, research, layout & design, advertising and distribution services. Increasingly, the line between services and goods is blurring. For example, is a book downloaded on the internet a good or a service? The GATS, even in its present ...
