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.

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.
