Youth Training Scheme ‘Voucher’

Abstract

Education forms another arm of the welfare state. The school. voucher was dropped in 1983 partly because of the argument that it would be impossible to create the wide‐range of schools necessary to redeem it in primary and secondary education. John Pardoe (right), former Liberal MP, who runs courses for the Youth Training Scheme of the Manpower Services Commission, has found that 4,000 sources of supply emerged, from ‘Nowhere’ to honour the YTS grants to young people. His evidence confirms the Austrian argument that suppliers would soon emerge in response to the new, voucher‐stim ulaied demand.
