dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to examine the interplay between learner choice and the school selection of learners. This interplay has two points of departure. The one is whether the logic of school choice is different depending on the choice-maker (parent or learner). The other is the process of school selection processes at each school, and how this impacts on, or constrains the choice of the choice-maker. The study is based on two comparative micro- case studies at two high schools - one a former HOR, and the other a former HOA school - in the Western Cape. Data was collected at the two schools by means of interviews with selected staff and questionnaires were issued to 410 grade eight learners at each school. The conceptual framework, incorporating the literature review, has positioned this study on two levels. Firstly, through setting the scene for the international school choice debate, with a specific focus on what parents and learners want from the school of their choice. And secondly, in establishing the trends amongst schools in terms of selection processes. Linked to both these positions is whether school choice policies lead to the empowerment of the choice-maker.en_ZA
