English term or phrase: to go GM
Aqui, a experiência britânica é pertinente, especialmente dado que os proponentes do mercado, como Chubbe Moe, contam tanto com isso e porque é aí que as tendências que analiso estão mais avançadas . Na Inglaterra, a lei da Educação de 1993 documenta o empenho do Estado na mercadização. Os corpos governativos das autoridades locais para a Educação (LEA – Local Educational Authorities) foram mandatados para pensarem formalmente em ******* «to go GM»******* (isso é, desistir do controlo do sistema escolar local e entrar no mercado competitivo) todos os anos . Assim, neste caso, o peso do Estado esteve do lado da imprensa no sentido de reformas liberais . No entanto, em vez de conduzir a uma sensibilidade e diversificação curricular, o mercado competitivo não criou muita coisa diferente dos modelos tradicionais actualmente tão firmemente entrincheirados nas escolas . Nem alterou radicalmente as relações de desigualdade que caracterizam o ensino.

"Tornarem-se escolas GM/escolas públicas de gestão autónoma"
Explanation:
Na primeira acepção: "escolas GM", seria conveniente, através de uma pequena nota, explicar o conceito de escolas GM, o qual está bem exposto nesta frase (após a sua tradução, claro): «Initially, GM schools were existing public schools that opted out of their LEAs after a parental ballot. Currently, an independent governing body runs GM schools and funds are received directly from the central government. GM schools have gained increased power in relation to admissions, finance, and staffing.».

agree  airmailrpl: unless they are planning upon 'genetically modifying' the students (which might not be a bad idea) - it seem to refer to 'Grant maintained'
