Abstract
Choice, diversity and equity need to be seen not just as potential principles for secondary schooling or even the governance of education but as key organising concepts of the neo‐liberal public domain. This paper will argue that these concepts are, therefore, implicated in the failure of that polity to address the central predicaments of the age. The resolution of these requires a new vision for the public domain which articulates the values and conditions of a learning democracy expressed through civic cooperation, participation and justice.Keywords
