The type of school a child attends is known to impact on educational attainment and later life outcomes. But there is very little persuasive empirical evidence (although widespread and varied anecdotal evidence) on why parents opt to take their children outside the state system. As part of an international collaboration funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and the Australian Research Council, researchers at the IFS and the Australian National University have sought to address this question by comparing the determinants of private school choice in both Australia and the UK.
