Vouchers for kindergarten education

Mr. Arthur Lee made a good point that taxpayer money should not be used to help private kindergartens make money. Hence parents who send their children to private kindergartens will not be able to use those vouchers.

Since many government employees enjoy education allowances, and those education allowances are certainly taxpayer money, the same principle should also apply. From now on, government employees should only be allowed to claim education allowances for education of their children at local non-profit schools.

Government employees who send their children to private schools should not be allowed to claim education allowance. And those who send their children to overseas schools certainly should not be allowed to claim education allowances. Why should Hong Kong taxpayer money be used to subsidized foreign schools, whether they are private or public? We certainly do not wish to use our taxpayer money to subsidize foreign businesses or governments. In colonial days we may be forced to make an exception for the UK. But there is no reason to do that anymore.
