| Message | "Private school vouchers allow every student to attend, and it would be a disgrace to this government to prevent a student from receiving a better education. Private schools can provide a better education for our students." - Private schools only provide a better education in a mixed system as they can afford to pay higher wages. In a totally private system this effect will still be present as those schools catering to richer areas will charge more and get the better teachers: the schools catering to the poor will not be able to afford the better teachers even with voucher income. |

| Message | We also disagree that the teaching is any better. It is only through vetting that the private schools take the more scholastically minded pupils leaving those who either did not want to, or were unable to pass, the entrance exams to the state system. |
