There is one possibility iam afraid of when it comes to school vouchers (without a public education system). To me, they have a striking similarity with the health insurance cards. Its my belief that health insurance is a big factor that led to the high cost of health treatment in the US. May be iam wrong. But iam afraid the use of school vouchers can lead to private schools slowly increasing their fees, thinking the government is going to pay anyway.

There are multiple reasons for the high cost of health care in America including infusion of technology, over-regulation e.t.c.

However, I agree that high cost of education can be worry and that is essential that there must be de-regulation of the education system. The single biggest problm currently is lack of seats.

On a side note, how come the qualification to become a teacher has continually spiralled from being just 7th std pass (i think my grandpa became a teacher when he passed 7th std) to becoming a B.Ed while the qualification to be a politician has still stayed the same for tens of years ?
