Harvard University and
Senior Fellow, the Hoover Institution
Matthew Chingos and I have just released a study that for the first time makes use of data from a randomized field trial to identify the impact of school vouchers on college enrollments. We found that that college enrollments for low-income, African American students who used a voucher to go to private elementary school increased by 24 percent. In the absence of a voucher, only 36 percent of the African American students in the study went to college… Continue reading
