So is this going to be another program in the Dept of Education? We need to abolish DEd not enhance/expand its scope.
The underlying assumption here is that college is required for all citizens. The reality is that the degree is not required for job performance, it is just used to screen out people.
Andrew Jackson fought this idea and I agree - there is no Constitutional provision for the Federal govt to be involved in Higher Ed. Narrowly tailored support for critical strategic needs can be subsidized by specific agencies. This can begin by returning federal support for the National Direct Student Loan program to the original National Defense Student Loan program, focusing exclusively on STEM education.
Trump called for abolishing or, restraining the Dept. of Education in his campaign leading up to 2016. He doesn't have anything else substantive regarding changing education until this Agenda 47 call to create The American Academy.
