Students in Puerto Rico need better education options, and the recurring problems in the government school system have made traditional public schools unreliable places for parents to send their children. While federal officials and policymakers in the commonwealth must continue to clean up waste, fraud, and abuse, they should also lift the caps on charter schools and on the new private school voucher program. Puerto Rican lawmakers should also review the research and academic outcomes of the U.S. mainland children whose parents were allowed to choose their schools. Every child is different, but every child deserves the chance to succeed. [This report was prepared by the Heritage Foundation's Center for Education Policy.]
