Vision
All children in the US have access to high-quality education, preschool through post-secondary, leading to a prepare, qualified, and advanced workforce filled with successful individuals
Ideas
- Federal subsidies for preschool and high-quality, affordable early childhood education.
- Research into primary education equity gaps that focus on the current reality of the situation and the reasons why it is occurring.
- Federal incentives for public universities to reduce operation administrative costs and increase year-to-year progression and completion rates.
- Federal incentives for high school dual enrollment programs in colleges, universities, and technical education.
- Reform Common Core standards to focus on educational outcomes while decentralizing the implementation of curriculum and emphasizing a reduction in testing.
- Reform and streamline student debt amnesty to 5 years of public service, including nonprofits, military, Peace Corps, Americorps, Foreign Service, and equivalent volunteering with local agencies.
- Strengthen regulations on student loan provision to for-profit tertiary institutions to reduce predatory lending and low completion rates.
- Ensure graduated students are not dragged down by economic debt due to student loans by forgiving student loan debts.
- Introduce “Workforce of Tomorrow” bill in second year to include all ideas. Funding mechanisms include cost savings from tertiary reforms and re-appropriation from current federal education programs, including Common Core.
