Investing in education is critical to building America’s future and ensuring our competitiveness in the world. Therefore, we must invest smartly and fairly in the education of young Americans. Financial aid should be awarded based on academic performance. This merit-based approach will encourage students to excel in their pursuit of higher education. This is principally different compared to calls for granting college tuition free for all. We should provide equal opportunity to education for all instead of handing out money to all. Similar assistance should be available for those who wish to acquire vocational training to become skilled workers such as electricians, plumbers and welders.
