Improving Education From Cradle to Career
Improving Education From Cradle to Career
JB knows how important it is to provide a good education for our children, that’s why he has made improving Illinois’ underfunded education system one of his top priorities. From expanded access to early childhood education to raising teacher salaries to making college more affordable, JB is working to correct the failures of previous administrations.
Early Education
Before becoming Governor, JB was a national leader in supporting early childhood education and he has continued that effort as Governor.
K-12 Education
When he came into office, state funding for education was nearly the worst in the nation but JB is working to finally turn that around.
College Affordability
Previous administrations cut funding for universities, resulting in higher tuition and fewer Illinois children able to attend college. JB has reversed that by expanding scholarships and increasing funding for universities and community colleges.
