School Voucher

A school voucher is a government-funded certificate that parents can use to pay for their child's education at a private school instead of a public one. Essentially, the government allocates a certain amount of money per student, and parents can choose the school that best fits their child's needs, using the voucher to cover tuition costs. This aims to increase educational options and foster competition among schools, potentially improving quality. However, opinions differ on whether vouchers enhance overall education quality or divert funds from public schools.
