Situatedness of School Choice among Muslim Students: An Intersectional Approach

So far research on school choice sets (decision about choosing a school from an available set of schools) has primarily regarded parents as key actors. This article emphasises that children are important actors as they inform parental decisions to co-produce certain choice sets. This paper suggest that factors like heterogeneities in social class, differential levels of religious discrimination/exclusion in schools and a need to protect their faith through education and the complex overlap between these were crucial in shaping choices.
