Unlike liberalism, libertarianism has no justification for goals such as universal education or equal opportunities in education. Education has enormous market failures that would prevent an economically optimum production and distribution of education. And the libertarian anti-government fixation dooms most of their proposals to failure while failing to explain the obvious government successes in education. All of the top performing nations in education (Finland, South Korea and Singapore, for example) are inexplicable with libertarian ideology: they are centrally organized systems with state funding, public schools, no school choice or vouchers, state developed curriculum, national standards, teachers paid well above market rates, mandatory schooling, universal schooling, and state mandated teacher education programs. If we want a top-performing education system, markets will NOT do the job because some will want to save money by purchasing lower quality services. It's a major problem in the US where the quality of the schools is largely determined by the tax base available. Parents who care about education move into communities with high enough taxes to have good schools. Developed nations around the world fund education centrally and equally.
