- Title
Economics Against Education.
- Authors
Burkhead, Jesse
- Abstract
The article discusses the role of educational policies introduced by the U.S. government in shaping learning behavior in children studying in various schools in the U.S. Researchers have indicated that out-of-school activities are more important in effecting and shaping learning than are in-school influences. The findings about the importance of education fit very well into the behavior patterns and the ideology of the citizenry. The macroeconomics of education can be defined with reasonable precision as the consequences of education on such aggregates as output, economic growth, and income. Expenditure tabulations have been developed for each educational program to yield costs per student, including the allocation of overheads. Program expenditures have been developed for all special identifiable out-of-school activities, such as special education, music, guidance, and maintenance. Educational program budgeting in education should not degenerate into an intricate and complex operation.
