The number of Indiana students receiving school vouchers has grown by 47 percent this school year to more than 29,000, according to the Indiana Department of Education annual report.

Gov. Mike Pence has called on the Indiana General Assembly to make education a major focus of this year's current session. To help explain the legislative issues, 90.1 WFYI's Eric Weddle and Christopher Ayers will discuss a related topic Fridays during "Morning Edition" the next several weeks. This week, Chris and Eric discuss Indiana's school voucher programs and Governor Pence's proposal to lift the $4,800 choice scholarship cap for grades 1-8.
