Doug Jones on Education

 

 


Invest in public schools, not private experiments

There is no doubt that the quality and funding of education in America (especially in our own state) have been uneven. Rather than abandoning these communities and schools to experiments overseen by political donors, we must commit our nation to providing first class education for children regardless of where they live. Republicans say that they believe in "equality of opportunity." It is time to provide the resources to ensure that equality.

Public service & Pell grants to reduce college costs

College, too, must be within economic reach of all families--without burdening a student with overwhelming debt. I support a program of public service in exchange for reduced college costs and full funding of Pell grants for students and additional research funding in the sciences and arts for the colleges themselves.
