Shifting Policy Analysis and Formation from an Effectiveness Emphasis to a Cost Perspective.

Pogrow, Stanley

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v5 n1 p75-82 Spr 1983

Improving school effectiveness is not a realistic policy goal for the '80s; the goal of maintaining effectiveness at reduced cost levels (i.e., improving efficiency) should be substituted. New technology is creating the potential for reducing costs in education and its adoption may help to overcome traditional political resistance to cost-based policies. (Author/LC)
