Public Accountability and the Academic Effectiveness of Grant-Aided Catholic Schools.

Daly, Peter

School Effectiveness and School Improvement, v6 n4 p367-79 Dec 1995

Examines two parallel secondary school systems in Northern Ireland popularly described as "Catholic" or "Protestant" in effectiveness terms. A value-added approach to measurement of 16-year olds' performance on public examinations casts doubt on previous findings concerning the alleged superior performance of Protestant-educated pupils.
