The Democratic Platform


The Democrats’ position on education is important to me because it affects me more directly than a lot of other issues being discussed in the current election.  They basically believe that improving education from a young age all the way through graduate school is important to building a stronger economy and workforce and for innovation.  They have worked towards this goal in many ways including trying to take down ‘No Child Left Behind’ and making incentives for teacher and school systems to work towards innovation and excellence.  Then, at the higher education level, they are trying to make it easier for people from all backgrounds to get the job training necessary for a career by increasing competition and making it easier to get college loans. 

Question for Alex Pena: What were some major changes in Colorado specifically that came out of ‘Race to the Top’?
