A quiet revolution in education is taking place throughout the developing world: the astounding growth of low-cost private schools.
No one has done more to uncover, document, and investigate the global up-surge of low-cost private schooling than James Tooley (“the Indiana Jones of education policy”), who has traveled to four continents and 22 countries (and counting) in his intrepid quest to understand this revolutionary development.
Once entrepreneurs introduce low-cost private schools in America, a process of improvement, innovation, competition, and growing adoption would likely cause prices to fall even lower, as in other industries.
The global revolution shows that private education alone is capable of offering educational opportunities for all.
