Resumo:This article aims to show how the logic of competition between teaching institutions, created by school choice policies, becomes a logic of survival for those who live in the most disadvantaged centres, the so-called “ghetto centres”. To do so, our study is based on a qualitative study using comprehensive interviews with 16 teachers and directors of public institutions in Madrid. The findings from the interview analysis revealed that school choice is not only a technology of neoliberal governmentality, but also a technology of educational biopolitics that “makes some live while letting others die”.
