More information
The Foundation for Educational Choice is a non-profit organization established in 1996 as the Milton & Rose D. Friedman Foundation, founded upon the ideals and theories of Nobel Laureate economist Milton Friedman and economist Rose D. Friedman. The best way to improve the quality of elementary and secondary education is to give all parents the freedom to choose the schools that work best for their children. Milton Friedman first articulated and applied this idea of liberty and free markets to our education system in 1955. As he has pointed out numerous times, this was not merely a reaction to a perceived deficiency in schooling, but rather an interest in a free society. We strive to educate parents, public policymakers and organizations about the desperate need to return power to the parents of America who have minimal choices and limited voices in the education of their children. And we serve as an important resource and partner for the many parents and community groups who want greater choice in education, and who are ready to fight for it.
