This research examines the effectiveness of instilling 21 st century skills in graduates of public versus private schools. The five skills that were examined are information literacy, critical thinking, interpersonal communication, self-regulated learning and the use of information and technology (ICT). No significant average difference was found between graduates of public and private schools regarding their command of the five skills. Nevertheless, several factors have been found that are related to students’ individual backgrounds: Among women, graduates of private schools were found to have a large advantage over female graduates of public schools regarding their commaned of information literacy skills and use of ICT. It was also found that among men, men who attended private schools had an advantage over those enrolled in public schools in terms of control of critical thinking skills. Further, among students who achieved a score of up to 650 on the Psychometric Test, those that attended a private high school had an advantage in their use of ICT. Among students whose fathers’ highest level of education was high school, an advantage was found for students in private school in their control of information literacy as opposed to students whose fathers had an academic degree. For the latter, an advantage in the same skill was seen for public school graduates. Educators must recognize these 21 st century skills and the variables that affect the command of them, in order to plan effective quality policies for education, which will take into consideration the gaps between different student populations.
