The future of education in presidential elections

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, the lack of focus on K-12 education raises questions about the future of education policy in the United States. With candidates like Harris and Trump failing to provide detailed plans or ambitious goals for improving student achievement and addressing teacher shortages, it is unclear how education will be prioritized in the next administration.

While education has historically taken a backseat to other issues in presidential campaigns, the absence of meaningful discussion about K-12 schools and students in the current election cycle is concerning to many educators and advocates. The lack of attention to education from presidential candidates suggests a lack of commitment to addressing the inequalities and challenges facing public education in the country.

Looking ahead, it will be important for policymakers, educators, and advocates to push for a greater focus on education in future presidential elections. By prioritizing K-12 schools and students, the next administration can work towards ensuring that all children have access to high-quality education and opportunities for success.

As voters prepare to cast their ballots in the upcoming election, it is crucial to consider the candidates’ stances on education and hold them accountable for their plans to support K-12 schools and students. Education is a fundamental issue that impacts the future of our country, and it is essential that it receives the attention and prioritization it deserves in the political arena.

The failure of big federal education initiatives like No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top has left many experts questioning the commitment of presidential candidates to address the serious issues facing our education system. According to Bettina Love, a professor at Teachers College, Columbia University, candidates from both parties have been stuck in a cycle of ineffective strategies that prioritize testing and punishment over innovative solutions.

Despite the importance of education policy, presidential candidates may find it easier to stay vague on the topic, focusing on broader issues to appeal to voters. Rachel Perera, a researcher at the Brookings Institution, believes that there is a reluctance to expand federal education policy after the disappointments of previous initiatives.

However, the real impact on K-12 education lies in state and local races. Local school boards have significant power in shaping policies, setting budgets, and hiring superintendents. State lawmakers and governors also play a crucial role in decisions affecting funding, teacher pay, and curriculum. With 11 states electing governors and four states choosing state superintendents this year, these races will have a direct impact on education policies.

While education policy is primarily determined at the state level, federal officials should not ignore their role in addressing inequalities. Love argues that bold solutions to address these issues must come from the federal government, rather than passing the responsibility to states and school districts.

In conclusion, the upcoming elections at the state and local levels will have a more significant impact on education policy than the presidential race. It is crucial for voters to pay attention to their local school boards and state candidates, as they hold the key to improving our education system and addressing the inequalities that persist.
