Illich “recommended the abolition of formal schooling” in this book (Ravitch, 2000, p. 398). “Universal schooling, he complained, was a government-funded scam that protected the jobs of bureaucrats and teachers” (Ravitch, 2000, p. 398). People Involved: Ivan Illich Comments: Illich also supported school vouchers and a business-like model for schools that put parents in the role of consumer. References: Ravitch, D. (2000).
