Tomorrow is a big day for the United States. Democrat Barack Obama and republican Mitt Romney have battled it out in three different debates. At this point, it may seem that either candidate could ultimately take the job as president, which also may seem a little unnerving. Being a college student, it is best to know where each candidate stands on education. I found this article which provides some really interesting information.
OBAMA: It's been observed that Obama's annual budget proposals continually increase funding for education. His college tax credit helped millions of students and their families able to afford going to college. The last point I have is that he promised to recruit 100,000 math and science teachers to accommodate his new technology jobs that will be put into place.
ROMNEY: Romney's plan would cut educational funding by $115 billion dollars. This would also increase the size of classes, as well as reduce the number of teachers in America. Also, this plan would eliminate Pell Grants for many college students. It has been said that it seems as if Romney only wants students to get as much education as they can afford.
It seems as if Obama is more for the college student and education in general than Romney is. Obama seems to understand the need for education for all students, not just the students who can afford it.
Whoever wins the election tomorrow will be in office for the next four years. Most of us will be in school for the next four years. Which educational plan would you most want to see put in place during the rest of your college career?
