There is another side to South Auckland. It is home to both the well-established and the migrant. It delivered the first mayor to Auckland's supercity, who sold a vision for transforming the south into an economic powerhouse-a vision now embedded in the city's strategic plans. But will social and economic transformation actually be delivered? How? What role does education play in the current dynamic of South Auckland, and what will its future be? There is a difference between what public policymakers see and what those on the ground understand about education in Auckland. This book advocates a community-specific approach to educational success and transformation in our largest city. It explores the failures of free markets in education; the learning challenges in poor urban neighbourhoods; and calls for educational governance that harnesses collective effort and strategic investment for a different future.
