Education Reform

Education reform is a plan, program, or movement which attempts to bring about a systematic change in educational theory or practice across a community or society.

At the current time, in the United States, public attention focuses on the high expense and poor outcomes of primary and secondary schools relative to their counterparts in other countries. The U.S. however, has the best tertiary education system in the world. Important contributing factors to this excellence seem to be that this system admits on tested merit, is supported by a large base of paying students—affording it the best teachers and researchers, and has nearly perfect student choice—leading to poor institutions losing funding.
