Comparing Student Enrollment and Financial Literacy in Public and Private Schools: Using PISA 2015 Data

• In Event: International Work on PISA

Abstract

Comparing the United States with 12 other education systems that participated in the financial literacy assessment of the 2015 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), this analysis looks at enrollment and performance gaps between public and private school students and explores factors that are associated with such gaps. In particular, this analysis examines (a) enrollment gaps between public and private school students across participating education systems, (b) gaps in financial literacy performance between public and private school students, and (c) the association between students’ socioeconomic background and these gaps.
