The Real-Life Impact of Different School Sectors

“The main takeaway would be that across the board for almost every outcome, every sector [of independent schools] performed as well or better than their public school counterparts,” says Joanna DeJong VanHof, program director for Education at Cardus,  in a video podcast with OIDEL, the International Organization for the Right to Education and Freedom of Education.

  • What does the Cardus Education Survey show about how different school sectors affect graduate outcomes?
