Myths and Facts About School Vouchers takes on common misconceptions about both the effectiveness and popularity of vouchers. PFAW debunks generalizations such as "African-Americans support school vouchers" or "students in voucher programs do better than their peers in public schools."

Also, two tuition tax credit programs in Arizona that were touted as a vehicle to give the poor more education choices have turned out to be "expensive and inefficient at reaching low-income students," says a study from the Education Policy Studies Lab at Arizona State University. Myths and Facts and a news release and links to the Arizona report can be accessed through the PFAW Web site at www.pfaw.org/issues/education.
