All Else Equal - Are Public and Private Schools Different? (Paperback)

Is there really a discernable difference between the education provided by public and private schools? Is it true, as advocates of voucher plans assert, that market driven education results in improved educational practice, greater parental involvement, and heightened student achievement? Not necessarily.

Through advocates of school privatisation have, in the past, produced compelling evidence to support their claims of private school superiority and campaigned for state voucher programs, other, equally compelling, studies have repeatedly shown that socio-economics plays the defining role in determining student achievement

Straightforward and authoritative, All Else Equal, challenges us to reconsider vital policy decisions and rethink the issues facing our current educational system.
