We need to immediately stop the reckless and wasteful throwing of tax dollars at the education system, where the return for your dollar is abysmal. The private sector continually outperform the public sector and they do it for a lower cost, because they run the schools efficiently instead of acting as a black hole for tax dollars where they have no incentive to provide decent education and every incentive to hire administrators who spend their budget every year.

Private education will work extremely well. The basic idea is that instead of throwing tax dollars at a public school, you let parents reward the good schools that satisfy their needs and meet their standards, by letting parents decide where to send their kids.

You could introduce a voucher system which goes towards school fees, perhaps a few thousand dollars per student. The vouchers would go to the parents and not the schools. So all schools in the free market would have to compete against each other.

End socialised education, it is a miserable failure and the amount of money the government throws at education DOUBLES every few years. It rations out education to those who happen to live near a particular school and the cost per student is just as high as a private school, except you don't ever see the bill for public schools, it is passed on to massive bureaucracy known as the Dept of Education, who always rubber stamp their budgets and spend tens of billions every year and second-rate education.
