YES it is eugenics, because who do you think will get accepted the most to have children? It will be the higher financial classes and people with more status and power. The poor and uneducated will have lesser access. Honestly, did you think this through or what? Who determines parental readiness? Who determines criteria? Are we trying to create a monoculture here? Does E Pluribus Unum mean nothing to you?
Any time that government is given control over reproduction, it becomes biased to people who are deemed "useful" to society. I would rather evolution play out and let people be born who are meant to be born - whether they are poor or rich. Our most important people have come from all backgrounds.
Okay then - people will have to take a 2-year degree in parenting, but that degree is subsidized for all people by the government. Sounds fair to me.
