School choice in the Republic of Georgia

By Alliance Alert

ADVERTISEMENTS

Rick Hess writing at Education Week: "I've just spent the better part of three weeks lending a hand to school reform efforts in the Republic of Georgia. ... Saakashvili and his libertarian-leaning allies took school choice seriously when they waded into education policy. They weren't kidding around, drafting a law guaranteed to bring smiles to my friends at the Cato Institute. The 2005 law on general education, as enacted by parliament, declared, 'The state shall protect freedom of educational choice of a pupil and a parent...The state shall finance education of a pupil from the central budget by a voucher [and] every parent has a right to get a voucher for financing the education of a child who reaches school age.'"
