Freie Schulwahl und Bildungsgerechtigkeit

One of the controversial points in the debate on schools choice is the problem of educational justice. Does the introduction of choice schemes decrease or increase social inequality within the education system? The objective of this contribution, which leads on from current debates in Anglo-Saxon moral and educational philosophy, is not to answer this question, but to analyze the apparent dissent. The role of normative principles and empirical assumptions on the situation will be investigated.
