Abstract

ABSTRACT Global narratives of educational philanthropy tend to emphasise the significant influence donors have in shaping public school policy and practice. In Australia, however, tax laws work to narrow the possibilities for philanthropy to exert influence over public schooling. Indeed, public schools (unlike private schools and Higher Education institutions) are unable to receive ‘direct’ philanthropic income, yet they can benefit from philanthropically supported programmes and services. Delving into this complex regulatory environment, this paper maps the types of philanthropic actors – including foundations, charities, intermediaries, not-for-profits, churches and Parent and Citizen associations – that are working with/in Australian public schools, and questions their potential to influence school policy and practice. We cautiously argue that edu-philanthropy in the Australian context is not a picture of policy distortion, but one that is responding to the current policy context of economic rationalism and the rollback of the welfare state, to support and enrich public schooling.

澳大利亚公立学校慈善事业分类图

摘要教育慈善事业的全球叙事往往强调捐助者在塑造公立学校政策和实践方面的重大影响。然而，在澳大利亚，税法努力缩小慈善事业对公立学校施加影响的可能性。事实上，公立学校（与私立学校和高等教育机构不同）无法获得“直接”慈善收入，但它们可以从慈善支持的计划和服务中受益。深入研究这一复杂的监管环境，本文绘制了与澳大利亚公立学校合作的慈善行为者的类型图，包括基金会、慈善机构、非营利中介机构、教会以及家长和公民协会，并质疑它们影响学校政策和实践的潜力。我们谨慎地认为，澳大利亚背景下的教育慈善事业并不是政策扭曲的画面，而是对当前经济理性主义和福利国家倒退的政策背景的回应，以支持和丰富公立学校教育。

期刊介绍： Discourse is an international, fully peer-reviewed journal publishing contemporary research and theorising in the cultural politics of education. The journal publishes academic articles from throughout the world which contribute to contemporary debates on the new social, cultural and political configurations that now mark education as a highly contested but important cultural site. Discourse adopts a broadly critical orientation, but is not tied to any particular ideological, disciplinary or methodological position. It encourages interdisciplinary approaches to the analysis of educational theory, policy and practice. It welcomes papers which explore speculative ideas in education, are written in innovative ways, or are presented in experimental ways.
