Stratified or Comprehensive? The Economic Efficiency of School Design

Is Bilingual Education Desirable in Multilingual countries?

“…(ii) When the return to educational investment for local jobs is positive, e + = e holds i¤ (8) satis…es…”

“…Only when the latter policies are conducted on a su¢cient scale, net earnings become higher under the dual education than under common-language-only (academic-only) education. 8 Finally, the result that the redistributive policies are essential for the very poor to bene…t economically from the dual education gives another justi…cation for governmental support of basic education, in addition to usual rationales based on positive externality, human rights, and among others, in multilingual countries and in low-income countries with large traditional sectors.…”

“…to choose intermediate weights. 8 If the government cannot implement these policies on a su¢cient scale for budgetary or other reasons, the dual education with a smaller weight on education of skills for local jobs than under when the policies can be conducted might be acceptable: it achieves the higher academic performance of students from relatively poor families than common-language-only (academic-only) education at the relatively small cost of net earnings. 9 There also exist works examining e¤ects of bilingual education in the U.S., which is monolingual rather than multilingual in business, such as Chin, Daysal, and Imberman (2013) and Lleras-Muney and Shertzer (2015).…”

“…Based on a theoretical model focusing on tuition-free secondary education of developed countries, Brunello and Giannini (2004) examine the relative e¢ciency of the strati…ed system in which students are allocated to academic-only or vocational-only education based on academic ability and the comprehensive system in which all students receive both types of education, and show numerically that neither system unambiguously dominates the other system.…”

Endogenous Determination of Public Budget Allocation across Education Stages

“…In these studies, education is modeled as a one-step process without hierarchical stages. Brunello and Giannini (2004) compares the efficiency of two school designs, the stratified system and the comprehensive system. It focuses on the distinction between vocational training and general education.…”
