a human right and parents should be able to choose a school for their children without discrimination on the basis of finances. To advance freedom of education, OIDEL promotes a greater parity between public and private schooling systems. In the United States, support for school choice has been paired with "parental rights". For example, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin asserted that he won his 2021 race by emphasizing that parents have the right to make decisions about their children’s education and supported school choice. Housing prices One study reported that school choice programs reduce housing prices in high-performing districts more than in low-performing districts. Oppose Profiteering School choice measures are criticized as encouraging profiteering. Charter authorization organizations have non-profit status; and contract with related for-profit entities. Charters have been accused of creating units that charge them high rent, and that while the facilities are used as schools, they pay no property taxes. Constitutionality Some school choice measures are criticized as violating church-state separation. The constitutionality of state-sponsored school choice laws has been challenged by school board associations, public school districts, teacher unions, associations of school business officials, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and People for the American Way. Destruction of public system School choice has been criticized for aiming to privatize schooling. International overview Belgium The Flemish community of Belgium has a high-performing education system as measured by PISA scores. Most private schools are subject to government targets and inspections. Schools are not allowed to select students via admissions tests, performance, religious background, or gender. The Flemish education system allows choice between teaching styles and competition, while suffering from relatively high socio-economic segregation. Sweden Sweden's system of school choice is one of the world's freest, providing public funds for student choice of publicly or privately run school, including religious and for-profit schools. Fifteen years after the 1993 reform, private school enrollment had increased from 1% to 10% of the student population. Chile In Chile, researchers reported that when controlling for student background (parental income and education), the difference in performance between public and private sectors is not significant. Variation within each sector is greater than that between the two systems. See also School voucher Tax choice References Competition (economics) Education economics Education policy
