School vouchers

School vouchers are government-funded financial aid given directly to parents to help cover the costs of private school tuition or additional educational expenses. Instead of sending students exclusively to public schools, parents can use these vouchers to choose private schools or alternative education options they believe best fit their child's needs. Supporters argue vouchers increase school choice and competition, potentially improving education quality. Critics contend they can divert funds from public schools and may not ensure all students have equal access to quality education. Overall, vouchers are a policy tool aimed at providing families more educational options.
