The voucher debate has been both intense and ideologically polarizing, in good part because so little is known about how voucher programs operate in practice. In The Education Gap, William Howell and Paul Peterson report new findings drawn from the most comprehensive study on vouchers conducted to date. Added to the paperback edition of this groundbreaking volume are the authors’ insights into the latest school choice developments in American education, including new voucher initiatives, charter school expansion, and public-school choice under No Child Left Behind. The authors review the

For decades, the use of vouchers has been widely debated.

This volume, which grew out of a conference sponsored by the Brookings Institution, the Urban Institute and the Committee for Economic Development, offers a framework for the comparative analysis of specific policy issues related to vouchers.
