North Carolina leads US in joining federal school choice program: Here's how low-income students benefit

North Carolina has become the first US state to join the federal Educational Choice for Children Act, offering £1,300 (US$1,700) in tax credits for donations to scholarship funds. The scheme allows low-income families to access private education, tutoring, and special education services. Illinois lost a similar programme in 2023, affecting 15,000 students. While Illinois has not opted in, residents may still donate to support students in other states, according to the Illinois Policy.
