Freedom and equity: iterations of market regulation reforms in French-speaking Belgium1
While freedom of education can be considered as a key foundation of the French-speaking Belgian educational quasi-market, a series of political measures have been passed since 2007, aimdc at regulating the enrolment procedures at the entrance of secondary schooling. This chapter outlines these four successive “enrolment decrees”, scrutinizes their normative grounds and technical instruments, and aims to understand their limited empirical effects by situating them in a broader historical and policy framework. The text documents the political rise of a new problematization of the links between free choice, school market and inequalities/segregation, and identifies the two conflicting cause-based coalitions of actors that have been shaping this debate. The chapter puts these findings under discussion through the lens of a neo-institutionalist approach to path dependence and path-shifting processes (Hall, 1993) and of the sociology of educational markets and their instruments (Karpik, 2007; Draelants, 2023). We argue that the recent transformations of the quasi-market – now clearly embedded in a new institutional configuration, marked by post-bureaucratic modes of regulation (Maroy, 2008) – lead to ambivalent singularization and de-singularization movements that could reinforce the singularizing and differentiating market forces they pretend to control.

Enquête sur l’éducation à la citoyenneté en Belgique francophone : nouvel imaginaire politique et traductions locales fragmentées
S’appuyant sur les résultats d’une recherche-action réalisée en 2016-2017 en Belgique francophone, cet article examine la manière dont différents établissements scolaires traduisent (c’est-à-dire interprètent et concrétisent) l’injonction politique contemporaine de faire de l’école un lieu d’éducation à la citoyenneté. La recherche conduit à formuler l’hypothèse du recul de la conception moderne de l’éducation à la citoyenneté, au profit d’un modèle à la fois plus pragmatique, plus ancré dans l’expérience, et concevant le bien commun comme un horizon à construire à partir des diversités. Ensuite, l’article fait état de trois traductions de la mission, faisant écho aux spécificités locales et aux identités organisationnelles des établissements. Dans une indétermination normative et une fragmentation scolaire, l’établissement opère bel et bien aujourd’hui comme un médiateur entre l’injonction politique générale et les défis locaux. La fragmentation constatée des projets de socialisation est aux antipodes du projet visé de reconstruction d’une communauté politique commune.

Multiple Embedded Inequalities and Cultural Diversity in Educational Systems: A Theoretical and Empirical Exploration
This article explores the social construction of cultural diversity in education, with a view to social justice. It examines how educational systems organize ethno-cultural difference and how this process contributes to inequalities. Theoretical resources are drawn from social philosophy as well as from recent developments in social organisation theory. It is argued that ethnic minority pupils face multiple sources of inequalities, of a social (redistributive) and cultural (recognition) nature. The first section argues that these dimensions are made more ‘durable’ through institutionalized patterns of norms and routines. The second section develops this proposal at three empirical levels: the macro-level of educational systems, where national narratives interact with structural educational patterns to shape ethnic inequalities; the intermediate level of local spaces of interdependency, where we scrutinize segregation and institutional discrimination; and, finally in this section, we look at single-school policies of difference as the product of educational ‘niches’. In the last section, the author argues that these multiple embedded inequalities significantly determine pupils' opportunities, identity and ‘capability’ building. New perspectives for multilevel approaches to inequality and qualitative international comparison are suggested.

Politiques éducatives et approche par les capacités
Ce texte présente et discute les apports potentiels de l’approche par les capacités développée par Amartya Sen à l’analyse critique des politiques éducatives. Le texte prend appui sur ce cadre de référence pour ébaucher un renouvellement de la réflexion sur la justice en éducation. Au-delà de l’égalité des chances et de l’égalité des résultats, les auteurs soutiennent que l’égalité des capacités ouvre de nouvelles perspectives de recherche et d’action publique en éducation. Ils s’arrêtent en particulier sur l’importance à accorder aux facteurs individuels, sociaux et environnementaux, susceptibles de favoriser la conversion des droits et des ressources éducatives en « libertés réelles » des individus.
