Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 320 pages. In 1989 New Zealand embarked on what is arguably the most thorough and dramatic transformation of a compulsory st ate education system ever undertaken by an industrialized country . Under a plan known as Tomorrow's Schools this island nation of 3.8 million people abolished its national Department of Education and turned control of its nearly 2,700 primary and secondary sch ools over to locally elected boards of trustees. Virtually overni ght, one of the world's most tightly controlled public education systems became one of the most decentralized. Two years later, in 1991, with a new government in power, New Zealand enacted furthe r reforms that introduced full parental choice of schools and enc ouraged the development of a competitive culture in the state edu cation system. Debate rages in the United States about whether si milar reforms would improve the performance of the country's trou bled public school system. Judgments about the potential benefits of these ideas, as well as the general relevance of economic mod els to educational systems, tap into deeply held values, and disc ussion in the U.S. has been hampered by the lack of practical exp erience with them. The extended and widespread experiences of New Zealand, whose school system functions much like our own, provid e U.S. policy makers with a wide range of appropriate insights an d implications to consider as they gauge the merits of bold educa tion reform. When Schools Compete is the first book to provide de tailed quantitative and qualitative analysis of the New Zealand e xperiment. Combining the perceptive observations of a prominent e ducation journalist and the analytical skills of an academic poli cy analyst, this book will help supporters and critics of market- based education reforms better anticipate the potential long-term consequences of applying ideas of market competition to the deli very of education. Editorial Reviews Review Edward B. Fiske and. Helen F. Ladd have put together a detailed quantitative an d qualitative analysis.
