Allocating New Educational Dollars

Amitai Etzioni

Challenge, 2020, vol. 63, issue 1, 14-20

Abstract: The current discourse around education focuses on higher education, however the evidence shows that we should commit more funding to early education. Early education – including childcare, preschool, and pre-kindergarten – is key to laying the foundations required for people to realize their potential. Neuroscience, economics, education, and health research demonstrates that early education is productive and beneficial to individuals and society. Quality early education could help ease the remedial burden colleges are facing, and it would benefit all people, not just those who attend college. Other countries have strong early education programs, and the US supported early education in the past.
