Universal School Voucher Programs

Universal school voucher programs in Arizona and Florida divert $4.5 billion annually from public education, a 150% increase in funding loss compared to 2020. This system is 20% more expensive per student than traditional public schools after accounting for administrative overhead. Vouchers deepen inequality more than China's Gaokao in #2 because they allow affluent families to supplement payments, while low-income students use the flat $7,000 voucher for underfunded private schools. Data shows 68% of voucher recipients previously attended private schools, not public ones.
