National Voucher Plans in Chile and Sweden: Did Privatization Reforms Make for Better Education?
Overview & Synopsis
Examines national experiences with educational vouchers in Chile and Sweden in relation to commonly held assumptions of proponents and opponents. Finds that vouchers did not improve academic achievement; "flight from public education" was related to prior lack of public support for public education; increased choice primarily benefited better educated parents; and voucher plans were intimately connected with political agendas.
