Vouchers cost less than public schools (both K-12 and higher education) for several reasons.
Under a voucher system, all schools are private, so they face strong incentives to control costs. This
means, in particular, using non-union teachers. Private schools funded by vouchers also avoid costly
initiatives like ―computers for everyone‖ absent clear evidence of beneficial impacts on education.
Vouchers also give students and parents more choice, allowing them to match their interests and skills
with the schools they attend.
