開始懷疑，出高考題目的人是有心跟政府開玩笑。抑或是，政府近來的政策，真的是經濟學很好的反面教材﹖試試(c)，看來廷有趣。
(a) The proposed school voucher system in Hong Kong kindergartens prohibits the schools receiving vouchers from turning into money-making organizations, i.e. schools receiving vouchers must be non-profit organizations. What would you expect the key differences in kindergarten performance to be, whether or not money-making is allowed?
(b) The government has said that the voucher system is not meant to help school owners make money for themselves. Could schools make profit through the cash-convertible vouchers under competition, if money-making is allowed? Could they earn rent?
(c) Suppose, instead of subsidizing education through the voucher system, the government passes a law, forcing parents to pay fully for their children’s schooling. Would you expect better or worse students to be produced when the schooling is fully financed by parents, as compared with that of the voucher system?
