Education

All of America's children deserve a world-class public education in schools that are safe, well-staffed and well-equipped. Learning, in fact, should be a lifelong pursuit, starting in early childhood and continuing through college. At every stage, high-quality education must be accessible and affordable for all children, not dependent upon the economic status of their families. Leaders must focus on closing the gap between advantaged and disadvantaged students.
