Washington View: Education on the campaign trail

The 2020 presidential campaign has already touched on a variety of education issues. Maria Ferguson describes how the campaigns have addressed issues related to higher education, such as student debt and the rising cost of college. She predicts that the ongoing plight of public school teachers, brought to the spotlight by teacher strikes across the nation, will also remain an issue throughout the campaign. Charter schools have been targeted by some candidates as one of the causes of public schools’ struggles. And racial inequity hit the spotlight in the June Democratic debate when Kamala Harris shared her personal experience with busing. Ferguson predicts that education will remain a visible issue throughout the campaign and the candidate who speaks clearly and directly about the education issues that matter most to voters will score a win.
