Abstract | Evaluates the voucher scheme for 4-year olds introduced during 1996 to 1997 in England and Wales. Overall findings suggest that the scheme encouraged unfair competition and "voucher maximizing behavior" in the maintained sector. The scheme failed because the Conservative government attempted to introduce too many market mechanisms into the preschool sector with too little planning. (51 references) (MLH) |
