I firmly believe the public educational system should be privatized.
Dr. Sheldon Richman, editor of The Freeman, the flagship publication of the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) is interviewed for Reason.TV and has some most intriguing insights.

Exactly Rick, Gov should not be into education, I strongly believe so And people must understand this otherwise is indoctrination of kids,is losing our liberty. As living in a Country, province where school are public it’s a real brainwash. Student are learning about the benefit of Karl Marx, which none for my point of view, they have to make an essay on this issue, they are learning about Keynes benefit but very less about Austrian.
The only way things can change is by us, to make understand to the population the consequences of collectivism, public system.

Keep the good work this is the only way.
Liberty your points perhaps are valid for the school systems in Europe and the United States.. I really doubt that any more than a hand of Bahamian students know the fundamental differences between Keynesian or Austrian schools of economic thought.. You are quite correct in describing contemporary education as a process of indoctrination which is true ever here in the Bahamas.. Any education system that is structured towards testing achievement can only result in failure over the long-run.. Florida and Washington, D.C. are meaningful examples of such failures..
Education must must teach the basic skills of analytical reasoning, logic, objective thinking and decision making.. This was the foundation of what was once known as a “liberal arts” education.. This is the guiding hand that should influence education at all levels of achievement.. Let us hope that it is not to late for the children of the Bahamas..
