Education at the Bottom of the Pyramid: The Private Life of Private Schools

Dr. James Tooley, author of “The Beautiful Tree: A personal
journey into how the world’s poorest are educating
themselves”, is an internationally recognized education
expert, and is the academic force behind the low-cost
private school movement in International Development.

Dr. Tooley’s research has shown that in many developing
countries, students at low-cost private schools outperform
their counterparts at government schools on national
standardized tests for a fraction of the teacher cost.
