How marketing practices affect education: A comparative case study of Canada, the United States and Australia

Abstract
This paper examines the theory and practice of the commercialization of education in Canada, using comparative examples from the United States and Australia. Critical theory provides the framework for the study. From the broad focus of business practice, the examination is narrowed down to marketing, and even further to branding, at all levels, from kindergarten through to post-secondary.
