Here, Filipino school owners and state officials market Philippine universities as the best venue to train for jobs found anywhere in the world. Such strategies target less privileged students unable to access more prestigious universities. creating new forms of knowledge mobility in an increasingly segmented higher education market. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
