Natural Law Party on Education

Party Platform


Support education and job training to maximize potential

Fully harness America’s most precious resource -- the unlimited intelligence and creativity of America’s 270 million citizens. In today’s information-based economy, intelligence and creativity, innovation and ideas, drive economic growth. The Natural Law Party strongly supports proven educational, job training, and apprenticeship programs that develop intelligence and creativity and prevent school dropouts.

Increase access to education with vouchers & other programs

The Head Start program, to help children excel from an early age, school vouchers to increase school choice, foster competition, and improve educational outcomes, federally guaranteed student loans and Pell Grants for higher education, national apprenticeship programs for students who are not college-bound, computer-aided instruction, including Internet instruction.

Vouchers will increase options & competition

The Natural Law Party supports federally funded vouchers to increase parental options and to foster competition among schools. These vouchers could be used to pay for any school of the parents’ choice -- public, private, or parochial -- provided that the school maintains high academic performance on standardized national tests. The competition that this system will engender will help reverse declining educational outcomes.
