Private school funding: its relation to students´ academic performance and financial literacy
| Resumo: | The purpose of this work was to understand the existing relation between private school funding, students’ academic performance, and financial literacy. Using correlation analysis, as well as t-tests, it was found a weak positive correlation with academic performance, a surprisingly slight negative correlation with financial literacy, and an unexpected negative correlation between academic performance and financial literacy. Also, private schools turned out to outperform public ones when it comes to student performance. However, for financial literacy, no statistical significance was found. These results show how many different things affect education outcomes and how much more study is needed. |
