Education That Leads to Real Opportunity
Education That Leads to Real Opportunity
College shouldn’t be the only ticket to a good paying job and getting a degree should prepare students for life, not leave them under a mountain of debt.
John will:
Require financial literacy classes in middle and high school so students graduate ready to manage real life.
Expand vocational and technical high school programs so that students graduate ready for good-paying jobs, without needing a college degree.
Make community college tuition-free nationwide.
Create apprenticeship and co-op partnerships with local high schools, community colleges, and employers.
Expand public funding for pre-school and afterschool programs
Support an increase in pay for teachers and school staff.
