Terry Adams on Education

	Terry Adams on Education

Invest in our public education system

We must invest in our public education system with the aim to be the best in the world so that American workers can compete and win in the global economy. College and tech training must be affordable and we have to get a handle on the student loan debt crisis before it is too late

Let's get real: a student without a high school diploma earns less than half of the per year average wage in America. 68% of the U.S. prison system is populated by individuals who did not graduate high school. In a nutshell, if you don't graduate from high school, the deck is stacked against you.

Graduate from college, on the other hand, and see the opportunity to live the American dream unfold for you. In this country, the unemployment rate directly correlates with your level of education, which makes sense. Earnings for those with a college degree are 32% more than average earnings and over 200% more than someone who fails to graduate from high school.
