Jared Henderson: Education is the catalyst to strong economy and prosperity

"Education is central to our future," he said. "It's broader than just the strength of education, how much our students are learning. It is also critical input to our poverty rates, to our economic development, a whole host of issues."ÿ"In 10 years, Arkansas needs to be one of the best places in the U.S. to be a teacher," he said. "That needs to be our guiding goal, our North Star. We do that, we'll build an education system that can prepare our kids for jobs that we don't even know exist yet."ÿ
