| Description: |
This work discusses the proposals for the reform of education in America including: greater school choice; charter schools; promoting contact with the business community; and public-private partnerships. Several chapters assess current research on choice and restructuring. |
| Synopsis: |
American education is undergoing rapid change. Concern over poor student performance, the ability and motivation of teachers, and the inefficiency of school bureaucracy have led to numerous recommendations for changing the structure of American education. These vary from small changes in the current structure to wholesale privatization of public schools. The contributions in this book discuss a wide range of proposals, including greater school choice, charter schools, promoting contact with the business community, public-private partnerships, and more. Several chapters assess the current research on choice and restructuring. Overall the consensus is that proposed reforms have a good chance of yielding significant benefits. |
