Description

Private Schools in Ten Countries provides a comprehensive comparative study of private schooling across nine countries. This in-depth analysis examines the historical, economic, and social contexts of private education in England and Wales, Scotland, the USA, Canada, Australia, France, West Germany, the Netherlands, and Japan. The book assesses government policy and evaluates the relationship between attendance at a public school and the maintenance of inequalities in society. By exploring these topics, educationists, politicians, and policymakers can gain valuable insights into the diverse ways in which education can be provided and funded. This study offers a unique perspective on private schooling, allowing readers to consider alternative approaches to education policy and reform.
