Eliminating the U.S. Dept. of Education would hit Oklahoma colleges hard. Without federal funding, we’d likely see higher tuition, fewer programs, and possibly campus closures. Federal standards also ensure that an OK degree is respected nationwide. Without them, quality could vary more, making it harder for local grads to compete in today's competitive job market. Local control is critically important important, but without federal support, our state could struggle to keep college affordable and high-quality for Oklahoma families. #HigherEd #Oklahoma

Did you know that in 20 states, anyone can go to community college for free? In another 14, there are free tuition for specific groups, like people over 25 or majors with high-demand industries like nursing. We hear a lot about the rising cost of private universities (with good reason). But much less publicized is the fact that since Tennessee started offering free community college for all in 2017, the trend has caught on, in both red and blue states. So maybe reforming higher ed should be less about lowering the cost of the private schools (though that should happen), and more about raising the prestige, and the opportunities, that come from a community college degree.

In our divisive world there seems to be agreement on this, that K-12 education is an important topic. Improving student outcomes and addressing talent supply challenges, including educator supply, education is a priority to grow MI. As a result, it’s a key political issue. We at MAPSA hear from the MI charter sector that charter public schools can be the catalyst to drive broader education forward in personalized learning, in multiple pathways, in reimagining the role of the educator, and in what accountability means and looks like.

Passing major Federal higher education legislation is challenging, and President Carter was able to use his window of opportunity to transform educational opportunities and access to those who were historically excluded. As Congress has not passed major higher education legislation since 1978 (under President Carter) and seems unlikely to do so in the foreseeable future. President Carter worked to address inequalities in education through higher education and Federal education policy reforms that helped provide more equitable opportunities. President Carter reshaped education policy by creating the U.S. Department of Education, which provides a clearinghouse of data collection and accountability, competitive grants for higher education and K-12, and student financial aid, which has not seen significant reforms around affordability and access in 46 years.
