Education
Education
Preparing every American for a changing economy while closing achievement gaps.
The Problem
American students consistently underperform peers in other developed nations in math and science. Achievement gaps by family income and geography remain stubbornly wide. College tuition has risen several times faster than inflation since 1980, leaving graduates with crushing debt, while many jobs go unfilled for lack of skilled workers.
