| Abstract: | K-12 public education finance policy in the province of British Columbia, Canada, responsibilises school district administrators to engage in competitive entrepreneurial practices, not only to increase public funding, but also to generate supplementary funding from private sources. We focus specifically on the generation of revenue from international student tuition. Our goal is to deepen our understanding of the spatial dimensions of inequities within the context of marketised education finance using the conceptual framework of spatiality and a mixed-methods approach to data collection. Quantitative data demonstrate how the amount of revenue generated from international student tuition differs between geographically diverse school districts. Qualitative data illuminate how the spatial contexts of local school districts shape administrators' reasoning, decision making, and marketing practices within a marketised education finance system. Both sets of data illustrate how spatiality exacerbates inequities within a market-oriented approach to education finance. |
