我们不能让贫困家庭的孩子在商业化的教育体系内被边缘化,为了做到这一点,有两个简单的办法。第一,给每个家庭发放一张比方说价值6000英镑的教育代金券,在所有学校都可兑换为现金使用。发给贫困家庭的代金券金额可以再高一些:目前向贫困孩子发放的“学生津贴为600英镑,我们可以在代金券里加上这笔钱、甚至更多的钱。
The second is that the government could continue to run schools, charging a fee equivalent to the voucher. Families who want exactly what they’re getting now - education both funded and provided by the government - could have it.
第二,政府可继续运营学校,收取与代金券等额的学费。这样,那些需求与现状(即所需教育和学费均由政府提供)无异的家庭,便可如愿以偿。
What possible objections could there be to this idea? Let’s consider a few. The first is that some parents couldn’t or wouldn’t spend their vouchers carefully, and their child would fall further behind her more fortunate peers. This is a risk - but competition is a powerful force, even if not everybody plays the game. People who do not bother to check prices at supermarkets will still benefit because more price-sensitive people are keeping the supermarkets honest. Similarly, schools must raise standards to attract pupils, even if not everyone responds to the improvement.
