Introduce an Education Voucher Scheme for Equity in UK Education
Introduce an Education Voucher Scheme providing each child with funding equal to the cost of state education. Parents could use vouchers for state schools, private schools (topping up costs), or home education.
The scheme must include tailored options for SEN children, ensuring fair access and choice.
We feel that tax changes increasing private school fees have forced many parents to move children to state schools, which we believe to be overwhelming the system. We think an education voucher could alleviate this strain, promote fairness, and empower families with choice. We think SEN children could benefit from more tailored education funded by their voucher. We think public funds could be used efficiently to support diverse educational needs, balancing resources across both state and private sectors.
