- Summary:
-
Educational policies are discussed which are directed at affecting the incentives of a school superintendent or other executive officers of an operating school system, staff members in the administrative office, principals or other executive officers in a school, teachers, pupils, and their parents. A number of proposals for the modification of schools, as they affect the incentives of school personnel, are discussed under seven headings: (1) Publication of performance information to change the direction of community pressure on superintendent or principal; (2) interscholastic academic competition; (3) intramural cooperation and competition; (4) dual competing school systems; (5) a tuition grant or voucher system for attendance at private schools; (6) the open school, with subject-specific choices; and (7) payment-by-results.
