De leur côté les libéraux [...] sont attachés à un projet pour la qualité de l'enseignement : le chèque éducation. J'en rappelle le principe : chaque famille se verrait remettre par l'État un «bon» valable pour un an d'enseignement par enfant. Elle pourrait avec ce «chèque» inscrire son enfant où bon lui semble. Les écoles n'auraient pas d'autres ressources que ces bons et devraient donc se faire concurrence pour attirer le plus d'inscrits possible. 3, record 2, French, - ch%C3%A8que%20%C3%A9ducation
