Finland ranked seventh in the world in OECD's student assessment chart in 2018, well above the UK and the United States, where there is a mix of private and state education

The trade-offs probably aren’t the same for developed and 3rd world countries. I want the free public schools to be as good as they can and have the private ones too
While this is almost certainly true, as I said, I’m concerned having a paid “out” of the public system not only divests the wealthy’s interests from having a strong public system - it pushes them in the opposite direction, as they’ve now got to help pay for a public system that they see no benefit from, which will produce kids that will be competing with theirs for jobs, etc.
Considering the disproportionate political power that comes with wealth, I think this is inviting failure.
