Education
This Congress is committed to improving our public education system by strengthening our schools, fully funding special education, and modernizing our classrooms. Quality public education is the foundation of our efforts to build a workforce to compete in the global economy of the future. We are working to reduce class size, make higher education available and affordable for all our students, and ensure that American classrooms are led by the best trained, most qualified teachers in the world. Democrats are committed to providing all of America’s students with the best possible education, and giving our young people the tools and resources they need to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
