In the post-modern era, schooling has become multi-faceted, partly due to neo-capitalist economic forces that threaten to alter existing educational structures. Influences within educational systems have resulted in corporate involvement in schooling, whereby school districts are expected to provide an educational system responsive to the needs of private corporations which may be in conflict with student needs.

520 $a In the post-modern era, schooling has become multi-faceted, partly due to neo-capitalist economic forces that threaten to alter existing educational structures. Influences within educational systems have resulted in corporate involvement in schooling, whereby school districts are expected to provide an educational system responsive to the needs of private corporations which may be in conflict with student needs.
520 $a This research inquires into the nature of corporate involvement in schooling and strives to understand its impact. It describes the extent, variety and effects of corporate involvement in the process of schooling and to identify processes by which transactions between businesses and educational institutions occur. It also clarifies views held by business partners and secondary public school educators towards corporate investment in schooling. The school systems' acceptance of responsibility in providing the latest technological skills to students, combined with funding cuts, has created a dilemma: inferior technological skills or private sector support.
520 $a Literature either supports corporate involvement within schools or discredits educators and their corporate partners for allowing schools to become marketplaces for the replication of corporate values, to access impressionable students and to recruit future employees. This research is vital to educators in understanding whose interests educational policies about corporate involvement actually serve. Two case studies from different provinces compare similarities and differences between and within school districts. Intents, strategies, processes and their effects are explored, and perceptions and attitudes among corporate representatives and educators are described.
520 $a Evidence substantiates fears that corporations may be searching for future consumers and work force subjects, but also suggests that most district-wide transactions affect students only superficially, while school level transactions affect vocational students significantly. Canadian views are reasonably similar between and among provinces, although this research suggests that Canadian and United States educational systems are seen to differ in their approaches to corporate transactions.
520 $a The investigation found that while schools are in no danger of being reorganized or restructured by business interests and students may be receiving enhanced educational experiences, the checks and balances responsible for maintaining the integrity of the educational institutions are weak. Educators must develop higher levels of critical thinking regarding corporate investments in Canada's classrooms.
