LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) is requesting $32 million to fund the Education Freedom Accounts (EFA) program for the 2025-26 school year. However, some critics have often referred to the program as “vouchers.” “They like to call them education freedom accounts,” said April Reisma, who is the president of the Arkansas Education Association. “But we know what they really are. They’re vouchers.”
