Descripción / Abstract
Zusammenfassung: In internationalen Vergleichstudien hat sich gezeigt, dass es für den Vergleich der Effizienz von Privatschulen mit staatlichen Schulen notwendig ist, zwischen finanziell unabhängigen und staatlich alimentierten Privatschulen zu unterscheiden. Denn obwohl die Leistungsunterschiede zwischen dem privaten und staatlichen Sektor überwiegend auf die Selektivität der Privatschulen zurückgeführt werden kann, zeigen sich doch über Nationen hinweg konsistent bessere Leistungen für die staatlich alimentierten Privatschulen auch dann, wenn die Selektivität berücksichtigt wird. Unter Verwendung eines noch effizienteren statistischen Verfahrens zur Kontrolle der Selektivität erweist sich dieses Befundmuster in der Analyse dreier PISA Datensätze als robust für Deutschland und die Niederlande.

Abstract: In international comparative studies on academic achievement, the distinction between private government-dependent schools and private-independent schools has proven to be particularly important for understanding the differences in the effectiveness of the private and public school sectors. Despite the fact that higher achievement scores in the private sector are mainly due to their intake selectivity, private-dependent schools still tend to outperform public school in most countries if these differences are taken into account. Using a more rigorous statistical technique to control for selectivity in the analysis of three PISA data sets, it is demonstrated that the substantive advantage in the efficacy of private-dependent schools compared to public schools remains for Germany and the Netherlands.
