Yan Qingsheng (Oriental Morning Post): Under the school voucher system, the Central Government can transfer the education budget between governments in work destinations and the government of migrant workers' sources. As a result, every school-age child will have access to free-of-charge compulsory education wherever they go. This system will stimulate destination governments' enthusiasm and relieve their burdens, thus fundamentally solving migrant children's education problem.

If higher education is also covered under the school voucher system, then universities will get a corresponding financial subsidy for every student that they receive. Here, students are like consumers, and their choice of universities will encourage fair competition among these schools. The result is, educational resources will be distributed in more effective and rational ways.

More importantly, school vouchers make every student granted the vouchers feel as if they are being empowered. The process by which they receive education is where their rights are being realized. This will undoubtedly help to increase their awareness of modern citizenship.

Pan Hongqi (Beijing Youth Daily): The law has stipulated clearly that central and local governments at all levels shoulder co-responsibility for funding nine-year compulsory education. In theory, central and local governments should appropriately set aside a certain amount of money for each child. If children of migrant workers go to schools in their hometowns, the money should be dedicated to these schools. If the children go to the schools in areas where their parents work, the money should be transferred to the new schools. But the real situation is that the money has neither gone to schools in the children's hometowns nor to schools where they go. But the latter might feel unfairly done by as they do not get funding of any kind. That is why they insist charging extra tuition fees to migrant workers.

Therefore, to call off extra tuition fees charged to children of migrant workers, the government must resolve the funding displacement. In developed cities where the government has sufficient compulsory education expenditure, and where the migrant workers make contributions to construction, tax collection and consumption, the government should provide equal education opportunities for their children. They have to waive charging extra fees.

In addition, local governments of sources of migrant workers are obliged to transfer money which is supposed to fund the migrant workers' children in the form of school vouchers to the cities and provinces where the children actually go to school. It could relieve funding pressure on the latter.

Fu Shengning (Shenzhen Economic Daily): School vouchers have become very controversial among the people. For instance, who should be authorized to issue the vouchers? Who should enjoy the benefits? Some suspect families might sell the vouchers because they are poor. In spite of all queries and suspicions, one thing is for sure: When people are entitled to a right to choose, unfairness in education can be relieved to some extent.

A school's education quality is directly linked to the educational resources it acquires. But it is difficult for the government to distribute resources impartially in every case. At present, unfairness in educational resources distribution is not rare.

How to promote fairness in education? School vouchers might be a good idea. They will allow students to have a choice and guide reasonable distribution of educational resources to boost schools' efficiency and quality. In addition, it may promote private investment in education.

Ye Yun (Southern Metro News): School vouchers have at least five benefits. First, the government, obliged to provide compulsory education, can convert "untouchable" education benefits into a form that can be distributed to parents and students. Second, consumers of education have the right to choose schools, pressing the schools to raise education quality. As long as they offer good learning experiences, the schools will be able to attract more students, which means they can get more funding from the government. Third, the vouchers could entitle the students in private schools to the same education as those in public schools. Fourth, poor students can enjoy equal education to other students. Fifth, when a school voucher is officially issued, public and private schools will get them on an equal basis, which means they will be entitled to the same education funding from the government.
