义务教育后的受教育权利：资助终身学习的教育券制

Post─Compulsory Entitlements：Vouchers for Life─long Learning

作为保障义务教育之后的受教育权利的一种方法，教育券被提议用来资助终身学习。这类教育券会提供给所有完成义务教育的人，以资助他们选择更广泛的教育培训。保障后义务教育权利的资助形式有助学金和按收入的一定比例偿还的贷款。后者可以通过投资教育培训获得的更高收入来偿还。文章阐述了教育权利资助机制的全面性和灵活性会提高教育和培训的公平与效率。文中讨论了资金、规章制度和支持服务等各个方面，同时，对将提高退伍军人教育福利 的GI法案作为实施义务之后的受教育权利的有效历史经验进行了讨论。

Educational vouchers in the form of post─compulsory entitlements（PCE’s）are proposed as a method for financing life─long learning. These entitlements would be provided to all persons after they complete compulsory education and could be used for a wide variety of approved education and training options. PCE’s would be composed of both grants and income─contingent loans， the latter payable from the higher incomes generated by education and training investments. It is argued that the comprehensiveness and flexibility of the entitlement mechanism would improve both equity and efficiency of education and training. Issues of finance， regulation， and support services are discussed as well as the contention that the GI Bill for Veterans’ Educational Benefits provides a useful historical experience for considering PCE’s.
