2023 State of the Union address: on Education


Joe Biden: Reduce student debt; increase Pell Grants

We're making progress by reducing student debt and increasing Pell Grants for working- and middle-class families. Let's finish the job, connect students to career opportunities starting in high school and provide two years of community college, some of the best career training in America, in addition to being a pathway to a four-year degree. Let's offer every American the path to a good career whether they go to college or not.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Education is a civil rights issue: give parents choice

I believe giving every child access to a quality education--regardless of their race or income--is the civil rights issue of our day. I will unveil an education package that will be the most far reaching, bold, conservative education reform in the country. My plan empowers parents with real choices, improves literacy and career readiness, and helps put a good teacher in every classroom by increasing their starting salary from one of the lowest to one of the highest in the nation.
