Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

We must put more emphasis on primary and secondary school education. Despite record spending, our children are still lagging behind. The best higher education in the world is not enough if our children are ill-prepared to take advantage of it. We need to introduce more choices, especially in our underprivileged areas.

We must provide our teachers and students with the schools and tools to start life with some hope of success. School choice is an option that should be re-considered along with charter schools.

Primary and secondary education must prepare our children for world-class higher education. Universities should be made more economical so students are not stuck with burdensome debt after graduation. Student loan interest rates must be kept low.
