Personally, the biggest concern I would have with school choice / voucher policies is maintaining accountability and quality standards.

The recent fraud investigations in the USA for-profit college market (eg where several scam-ish type outfits churned out expensive but useless degrees to people lured in by slick marketing) absolutely shows that, sometimes, more options can be worse.

That could be really easily addressed. In order to accept voucher money, you must be a non-profit and your expenses must be transparent.

I agree that for-profit institutions have no place in education.
