Education

The United States is continuing to lose ground to countries that deliver a better education. In 2006, American fifteen-year olds ranked 25th out of 30 industrialized countries in math and 21st out of 30 in science. Hope Street Group supports equal access to programs like universal Pre-K, outstanding K-12 schools, affordable higher education, adult continuing education, and vocational training to ensure all Americans are equipped to compete in a dynamic, global economy.
