| The National Research Center for Career and Technical Education recently reported on an experimental study in which 57 volunteer teachers in a career and technical education program were randomly assigned to an experimental group and 74 were assigned to a control group. The only experimental study of school choice and political knowledge found no significant difference in average political knowledge levels between recipients of vouchers and comparable students in public schools. The assessment relied on data derived from an experimental study conducted using adult volunteers and designed to result in maximum hand and wipe loadings to estimate the residue-skin transfer efficiency. |
