The term "school choice" refers to the idea that parents and guardians should have the right to choose which school their children attend, regardless of where they live. This can include public schools, private schools, charter schools or homeschooling. The concept is based on the belief that every child deserves access to a quality education, and that families should be able to select the educational environment that best meets their needs and values. School choice programs aim to increase competition among schools, promote innovation in teaching methods, and empower parents with more control over their children's education.
