NEA is working to ensure education is affordable and accessible to all
Higher education must be affordable and accessible to all. Yet, for too many, pursuing our college and career dreams means years, even decades of paying off student debt. This is especially true for educators. This system is working for the student loan providers and banks, but not for us.
Fixing the student debt crisis makes our public schools stronger.
Young or old, Black or white, educators of all ages and races have had to take on student debt to enter the profession. This reality keeps too many talented young people out of the profession and pushes out those who do enter it. With this crisis, however, comes the opportunity to create a better, more just system.
Imagine it. A world where every student, educator, parent, and friend can dream without limits. Where a higher education only means greater possibilities. Together, we will create this world.
