Question

An essay on 'market oriented education

Answer 1

The report uses the term “market-oriented” to refer to education policies based on the conviction that the key to improving schools is promoting various forms of competition, explained Elaine Weiss, national coordinator of the Broader, Bolder group, who co-authored the report along with colleague Don Long. The organization is housed within the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington-based think tank that focuses on the needs of low- and middle-income workers, though the Bolder, Broader group’s policy agenda is independent from EPI, Weiss said.
