parental choice

Parental choice refers to the ability of parents to select the educational options they believe are best for their children. This can include choosing public schools, private schools, charter schools, homeschooling, or other educational programs. The concept aims to empower parents with greater influence over their child's education, ensuring it aligns with their values, needs, and preferences. Policies supporting parental choice often seek to increase competition among schools, improve quality, and provide families with more diverse educational opportunities.
