Poll: Majority of Americans Support Education Savings Accounts for All Students

More states are passing School Choice legislation than ever before despite the backlash from teacher unions. Education savings accounts give parents the financial ability to choose which type of school is best for their child. Currently only Nevada has a comprehensive state wide education savings account program while other states limit it to students with disabilities or low income families.

Public support for school choice is increasing, a poll released on Tuesday by the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice and Braun Research, Inc. found.

About 62 percent of Americans support education savings account, an increase of 6 percent from last year, the poll revealed.

“As families’ learning needs evolve, ESAs have become the most flexible tool to help parents choose the educational ingredients that work best for their children, especially if their assigned school isn’t serving them well,” Robert Enlow, president and CEO of the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice, said in a statement.
