Do Catholic Schools Make a Difference? Evidence from Australia
研究澳大利亚天主教学校对学生教育成就和劳动力市场表现的影响,发现就读天主教学校使高中毕业概率提高17个百分点,并提升高等教育获得和劳动市场表现。
This paper examines whether the substantial benefits reported for attending Catholic schools in the United States also exist for students of Catholic schools in Australia. We find that despite its relatively low cost, attendance at Australian Catholic schools increases the probability of completing high school by 17 percentage points. The evidence also suggests that attendance at Australian Catholic schools increases the probability of obtaining higher education and is associated with a superior performance in the labor market.
