Third World Countries Successful with Inexpensive PRivate Education

Thursday February 15th 2007, 3:06 pm

I read the my new issue of The Atlantic Monthly (March, 2007 http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200703/crook-schools) about James Tooley (http://www.ncl.ac.uk/egwest/tooley.html) who has uncovered a REMARKABLE and, since I’ve not read about it before, pretty unreported finding that kids in Third World Countries receive BETTER education when it’s private. And Cheap!
By the way, you have GOT to see Tooley’s web site that charts the amazing progress that simple, private schools are providing in countries that the UNESCO and other NGO’s have NOT been funding. And they are better!!!
Great read from a British Professor of Education on the merits of childhood education amongst (pardon my british) the poor!!!
