Revolution at the Margins: The Impact of Competition on Urban School Systems
ISBN: 9780815702092 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For more than a decade, school choice has been a flashpoint in debates about our nation's schooling. Perhaps the most commonly advanced argument for school choice is the notion that markets will force public schools to improve, particularly in those urban areas where improvement has proved so elusive. However, the question of how public schools respond to market conditions has received surprisingly little attention. Revolution at the Margins examines the impact of school vouchers and charter schooling on three urban school districts, explores the causes of the behavior observed, and...

From Social Assistance to Social Development: Targeted Education Subsidies in Developing Countries
ISBN: 9780881323573 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Samuel Morley and David Coady demonstrate how a promising new alternative to standard donor-financed education programs--the conditioned transfer for education (CTE) program--can advance both poverty reduction and education goals at the same time. CTE programs meet the immediate needs of the poorest families by providing cash or food but only on the condition that they keep their children in school. These transfers reduce poverty in the short run, and the additional education of the children of poor families breaks the long-run cycle of poverty by increasing their earning potential.The book...

Collective Choice in Education
ISBN: 9780898380910 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The persistently increasing scale and complexity of government, of quasi public organizations, and of private organizations pose many problems in the economics of collective choice. Moreover, education as a quasi-public good has drawn ever more heavily on public budgets. Yet economic research into collective behavior with respect to education has been sparse (with the partial exception of recent work on teacher unions). In view of these trends, it was decided that the third conference under the Ford-sponsored UK. jUS. Pro gramme in the Economics of Education should make the high-risk effort...

The Case Against School Vouchers
ISBN: 9781573920926 / Angielski / Miękka / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Should public funds be used to support non-public education? Controversy over that question has raged since the early 19th century. In the 1990s, this debate centers on elementary and secondary school tuition vouchers, sometimes called 'scholarships', which feature numerous plans with varying levels of aid, but they all involve public funds being spent for non-public education. Voucher advocates claim that it's only fair to include non-public schooling in public funding for elementary and secondary education, that vouchers will promote diversity, and that school 'choice' will improve the...
