Education is one of the great failures of libertarianism.  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.
