Description

What is the best way to organize education and achieve the greatest social benefits? Specific matters as to how schools are run--such as class size, teacher certification, teacher salaries, student testing, homework levels, and the curriculum--are important, but the primary issue is whether these matters are resolved through the choices of parents in a market setting or through government decisions in the political process. I argue that a market approach whereby schools compete and are directly accountable to parents works better than accountability through the political process. In fact, markets would fix many of the problems that afflict public education because most of these problems are inherent in government provision.
