A nonprofit organization that provides\u00a0school choice\u00a0scholarships to low-income children has seen requests for students to move out of the public school system nearly triple since the government closed down schools across the country during COVID.<\/p>\n
The group, ACE Scholarships, has reportedly seen requests for scholarships increase from 12,311 for the 2021-2022 school year to 32,113 for the 2023-2024 school year.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery kid learns differently, so a one-size-fits-all education system, no matter how well-meaning, cannot accommodate every student. The soaring demand for ACE scholarships is a testament to the hope school choice provides for students and their parents. We are committed to helping students find institutions where they can excel,\u201d ACE CEO Norton Rainey told The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n
ACE has allocated\u00a014,090 scholarships for kids to go to private schools worth $42,660,935 for this school year alone.<\/p>\n
The nonprofit reported that students it provided scholarships for tested 54% more proficient in math and 34% more proficient in reading than those in public schools.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis historic demand for educational freedom should empower states currently considering school choice legislation in 2024 to act now. Every kid \u2014 no matter what state they live in \u2014 deserves access to a high-quality education that sets them up for a lifetime of success. We can\u2019t let them down,\u201d Rainey said.<\/p>\n
ACE maintains that the \u201cAmerican public education system is flawed,\u201d \u201cfree enterprise and democracy work,\u201d and that \u201cparents know the best education environment for their kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
