ok i will, i never really heard of the vouncher system until now. But in my country, it don't excist and we aren't forced to go to our nearest school either. As long as it's no more than an hour from home, than you can go to any school you like. It's not as open as a voucher system might be, but you still have a choice |
All a voucher system is, is a system that allows children to go to the school of their choice, irregardless of location, up to a certain cash value, or full public education. That way, if a school is unsatisfactory (regardless if its public or private), a child is free to be removed and placed in another school. That way, failing schools have a huge incentive to get better, or face students leaving.
As it is in the US, you could literally have two schools beside each other - one failing students and horrific, and a fantastic school (both public), and the kids could be forced to go to the bad one, or face fines and jail time.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
