Education vouchers

Education vouchers are government-issued certificates that allow parents to use public funds to pay for their children's education at a school of their choice, including private or charter schools. The idea behind vouchers is to give families more options and promote competition among schools, potentially improving educational quality. Each voucher typically covers a portion of tuition, enabling parents to select a school that best fits their child’s needs. Proponents argue that vouchers enhance educational access, while opponents raise concerns about funding public schools and ensuring equity.
