Dr Eamonn Butler, writing in the Adam Smith Institute blog writes:

A recent study by the Manhattan Institute shows that school vouchers, now available to needy families of various kinds in Florida, do not just help those who get them - but improve education for those who don’t as well.

As I learnt at the Heritage Foundation Resource Bank meeting in Miami last week, the Manhattan Institute shows that the performance of government-run schools increases when vouchers are introduced - or indeed, even just threatened. The same phenomenon has been noted with the municipal schools in Sweden, which also has a voucher-style education choice system. The supposed problem of: “What about those left behind?” just isn’t a problem at all.
