Abstract
The present paper describes three modes by which government may complement the public high school system with the use of private high schools. Two of these three ways – the Educational Service Contracting (ESC) and the Educational Voucher System (EVS) schemes – now enjoy substantial government funding. The paper presents their varying assumptions and practices with emphasis on enhancing school choice, where data bearing on their practices and objectives are discussed. The study shows the ESC has been more thoughtfully designed and implemented and, unlike the EVS, it has partial evidence to justify its continuance.
